Lakota Chief Oren Lyons speaks to United Nations and Humanity

Fast forward to 6:40 if you have AD/HD...

"We are gonna go through some stuff.  There's no escaping that.  We're gonna go through some stuff.  So just get ready for it.  Get ready for it.  Tell your leaders, 'Get off your ass.  Let's get on with life.'"



"Four Words, he said: Value Change For Survival.  It came right down to four words.  You are either going to change your values or you are not going to survive.

I tell you the Earth has no mercy.  You abide that law or suffer the consequence.

Business as usual is over.  Carbon is over.  Oil is over.

We better find something else.  We better find some equity.  We are not going to have the luxury of spending 200 billion dollars on a war.  You're just not going to have the time or the money because you are going to paying for environment and damages coming.

You want to talk about economies?  Gonna wreck the economies of the world.  They're not ready for this.

Who is gonna do this?  I say to those kids, it's up to you.  You get in the face of your leaders.  You get in the face of your mother and father, and you tell em' CHANGE OR ELSE.

I say I'll help you.  I'll be right there.  That's an elder's position.  When they ask for help we better be there.

Because this is it, the way I see it."
