“You don’t fool around with natural law and get away with it” Wisdom keepers, An interview with Oren Lyons, Onondaga tribe by Harvey Arden & Steve Wall, p.26.
This statement is powerful, I believe that Oren Lyons is trying to say that even if we break one of our governments laws, in most cases we will just pay our time and it will be over But if we break a “natural law” such as littering we will have to deal with that for the rest of our life because it will affect our economy and the way we live.
