That is where the warrior socity of earth first comes into the bioregional world. In reinhabiting a palce, by dwelling in it, we become that place. We are of it. Our most fundamental duty is self defense. We are the wilderness defending itself.. We develop the management plan of our region. We implement it. If the dying industrial empire tires t o invade our sacred preserves, we resist its incursions. In most cases we cannot confront it head to head because it si temporarily much more powerful than we are . But by using our guerrilla wits, we can often use its own massed power agains itself. Delay, resist, subvert using all the tools available to us: file appeals and lawsuits, encourage legislation... demonstrate, and engage in non violent civil disobedience, monekywrench. Defend... Our self defense is damage control until the machine plows into that brick wall and industrial civilization self destructs as it must. Then the important work begins building an ecologically sustainable tribal society
