The nature is Us or We are the Nature, means we human beings are not and cannot separate ourselves from the nature, because we are parts of and we form the nature. We "are" the nature. But we are not alone, we have fellow communities of beings that come together as fellow beings that form and are "the nature". This is why all of us tribal peoples in the world never see trees, dogs, and water or mountains and air as separate objects for us to explore and exploit. Yes, modern religions do teach human superiority as created beings, but tribal peoples see ourselves as equal, inter-related and inter-dependent.  

Since the beginning of human history, we were, we are and we will always be parts of the Nature.

By nature, we mean the natural world and the nested ecosystems within it. This is the “non-built” world of water, air, earth, vegetation, and animals. Humans are part of nature and interact constantly with it in many ways—on the molecular and the larger systems level.

Inside our mind, we Melanesians do not perceive and treat nature as separate from humans. Melanesians think, view and treat other beings as fellow beings. However, in interaction with modern concept of nature, Melanesians tend to make the distinction.

We normally feel what the spirits, plants, animals, matter or landscapes feel and even hear what they say. This is why we mostly do not speak verbally, but we speak using all senses, regardless of us Melanesian realizing and recognising it or not.
