Deeper and further back in our lives are our ancestors. When I began my searching, I thought only in terms of the recent
past. I found while searching that there was more to the Native philosophy than just a quaint theory. The Native North Americans speak of the present action reaching seven generations into the future. Those actions seven generations back reach up to now too. I started out
by just thrashing around blindly. Using Bowen System Theory, I questioned my parents and weighed my own intuitions, and it became clear to me
that my ancestors played a crucial part in my life-decisions of the present. These images are presented because they may
match a familiar memory in your life. They underscore the fact that we, in the present, need to think ahead to create a world
that will be clean and vibrant for our children and great grandchildren. Entrance to John's works,
