"My great-grandmother grew up in a sod house……" — Derrick Jensen

"My great-grandmother grew up in a sod house in Nebraska. When she was a tiny girl - in other words, only four human generations ago - there were still enough wild bison on the Plains that she was afraid lightning storms would spook them and they would trample her home."

— Derrick Jensen
