Indigenous Permaculture, or Cosmovision, www.indigenous-permaculture.org
is a way of thinking and living by following the original instructions we 
were given to live in balance with the world. These teachings assist people 
in achieving a symbiotic sustainable life within their environment by 
utilizing indigenous agricultural practices.
Indigenous Permaculture is not new, it is wisdom from the past that tells 
us how to follow our original instructions from the Creator. By doing this 
we ensure our existence and a future for generations.
