You are yourself, at the age of 100.
You are an elder of your community -- of your village, or your city, or your country, or your planet. What local secret will you pass on?
Remember, it's far in the future -- it's whatever year you will be 100 years old in. It's the year 2094 if you are 16 years old in the year 2010, or 2089 if you're twenty-one, or 2080 if you are thirty.
Many things in our world will change between now and then. Who knows what we will consider an "indigenous community" that far in the future?
"Indigenous" means "native to a land or region, particularly before contact with other cultures." Today, it mostly describes native people living in villages. But what will "indigenous" describe in the future?
Stretch your imagine as far as it can go. Will Cape Town and San Francisco be considered "indigenous cities" in the future -- and if so, compared to what? Will Italy and Brazil be "indigenous nations" -- and if so, what would that mean? Will Earth be an "indigenous planet"?
Imagine yourself at the age of 100, and write or record an urgent message to the world passing on YOUR elder's wisdom. What piece of wisdom about your local environment and eco-system will you want to help share with far-flung cultures, or future generations?

When I'm 100 I will tell my grandchildren a few important things. I will tell them about the earthquake that Christchurch experienced in 2010-2011 and many stories about that. I will tell them to enjoy life and to follow their dreams and do something they want to do. I will tell them to stand up for what they think is right and make a change about it. I will teach them to stay honest and respectful to everything and everyone. I will tell them to stay healthy (excersize) and to stay in school and make the best of their education. Traditionally I would have to pass down the delicious family fruit cake! The most important thing I would tell them is to always stay positive even when they are in a bad situation. Always be happy, enjoy life and live it to the full!
When i'm one hundred years old, I would like to teach my grandchildren many things. I will tell them about the 2010-2011 eathquake - how we learnt to stay positive, and how we continued to live as normal as possible. I will teach them to always be honest and respectful to people. I will tell them to stay healthy and well-educated, and make something of their life. But most of all, i will tell them to always stay happy, and enjoy life :)
When I am 100, I will tell my grand kids all about the beginning of the world. How mankind evolved from that and "how it was back in the old days". I would also share our family pork dumpling recipe. YUM! When I am older I want people to remember me. So I would tell them all about my life- the past, the present and the future.
When I am 100, I will give my grand kids life lessons like to be kind to everyone you meet, even if you don't particularly like them and hang out with them so they aren't left out. And help out wherever and however you can, and even if you can't help much, just make your best effort and it will be fine. And don't take advantage of your living friends, family, food and house because there are not many people in the world have these things in thier lives.
