The Seventh Generation Tours.

About The Seventh Generation Principle:

An Indigenous Concept, to think of the seventh generation coming after you in your words, work and actions, and to remember the seventh generation who came before.Based on an ancient philosophy of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (Iroquois), recognized as the oldest democracy in the world and believed to be the model of the American Constitution, the foundation document of the most powerful and prosperous nation on earth.

About the seventh generation…how it began.

How it began

Collecting stories has been a lifetime hobby for Marie Haley, she tucks them away like a magpie storing treasures. When there were so many stories that her friends got sick of hearing them, she started a tour company. And the wisdom “do what you love, and you'll never work another day in your life” began. Storytelling is Marie's purpose in life, it brings her alive.In community conservation it was understanding our human values systems, of why we choose to protect one species over another, and in this realising that "education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" (Nelson Mandala).On Campbell Island in the New Zealand sub-Antarctic Islands it was being overwhelmed with the beauty and abundance of nature in it's wild state. Of living in a naturally quiet place where humans are not in charge.
