The People
Nature and people are inseparable in Sikkim.
Nature-centred instead of human-centred
People who live off the land
Knowing what ‘enough’ looks like
Nothing is wasted or thrown, everything has its purpose
Mountain as their guardian deity
Children of Mt. Khangchendzonga
Worshipping their rivers, forests, mountains, spirits
Mountain people pride
Relationships are their greatest currency
Everyone has a part to play
Everyone is a sister or brother; auntie or uncle
Many hands make it work, not contractors
