Winning Choices – Interconnections

“A dominant theme of all Native American cultures is that of relationship, or a series of relationships that are always reaching further and further and further out; relationships within the immediate family, reaching out to the extended family, to the band, outward again to the clan, to the tribal group; and relationships do not stop there but extend out to embrace and relate to the environment: to the land, to the animals, to the plants, and to the clouds, the elements, the heavens, the stars; and ultimately those relationships that people express and live extend to embrace the entire universe”.

– Joseph Epps Brown, “Becoming Part of It”
