2. Quote: Ironically, such a statement, when isolated from its cultural context, seems to give the nod of views of indigenous peoples as "first ecologists" and purveyors of an environmental wisdom absent in the technologically developed, industrialized "first world." (Read in Indigenous Traditions and Ecology by John A. Grim; Yale University)
3. Definition: (n) A person who purveys, provides or supplies.
