What does it mean to be human and alive?

Anthropologist Wade Davis on indigenous cultures. I would love to do what he does.
If human beings are the agents of cultural destruction, we can also be and must be the facilitators of cultural survival.
I actually watched a Globe Trekker on PBS that visited Peru and went on that pilgrimage. People actually die on this trek, however it is an honor, and cut a piece of the glacial ice to use as holy water. The cocoa leaves are chewed in essence as a drug to stay awake.
There is some really beautiful photography in this…
You can only imagine how the video footage will turn out.
