Wiki Assignment ("Warriors of the Rainbow")
"Warriors of the Rainbow" depicts a world in which certain people will become leaders. They will lead people to understanding the gods of the earth and how to make it beautiful and free of toxins. The ideal world is one of simplicity, where "...children would once again be able to run free and enjoy the treasures of Nature and Mother Earth."
Current ideals are also advertised to be simplistic, but this kind of "simplicity" is simplicity through technology, but i think it's clear that to the well being of the earth, technology is detrimental.
Although I don't know that the preservation of the earth is the only message to the story. I think that a lot of it is preservation of culture; trying to overcome others prejudice to preserve what the author's tribe believes in. The author states at the end that she wants her children to be "Warriors of the Rainbow" which in some ways says to me that it's about culture, heritage, rights of passage etc. (not sure, just a thought)
