Description

What me, and my people are, were once something so special. So great. But that’s what everyone says when they have been replaced.

We were the roots of the great people of the Iliaque. And roots we are still ­ providing the nutrients of knowledge to the people that branch from us. You would think that people who know of us, know of our knowledge and wisdom, would want to be us. Be us by destroying us. Our culture.

The more that people branched from us, branched and started their own forests in other lands. The more that time passed into years and generations, my own people, from my own tribe (and from different tribes) went to live amongst the people in cities from lands away. Our people blend in, giving away our ways of life until it’s played out. Nothing is sacred anymore. Tradition is lost. We are not a people anymore. We are the old roots that are being pushed further into the soil by the new, and the new is killing us. Killing us into few numbers that stay true to being secluded.

I am now eternally grateful for the unbreathable wastes. Grateful that the cold lands keep away the traitors and those who spoil our ways.

Now I say to you, brothers and sisters.. that if you go down this path, and travel into the cold lands, that the harshness of the cold and wind swallow you. And if the wastes don’t do it, I hope the new society you’re trying to adapt to does.  ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

Mr. Crow Skull up there is just a product of concept of what an indigenous person looks like in :iconautopsyjuice: and I's lil' universe. 

Coming across a tribe is a rarity, since they are quite difficult to find, being spread out in the wastes and all. Each one is different, having their own way of living ­­ but they are all connected in one way or another.
