We have to take care of Aki (Mother Earth) or we will not have a home. We must all share in this responsibility. We need to make sure that Mother Earth and everything the Creator gave her will always be here for future generations. We need to remember and live by the teachings of our Grandmothers and Grandfathers. They taught us, as they had been taught by their elders, how to take care of Mother Earth and each other.
Love: Love is one of the greatest teachers.
Respect: One of the teachings around respect is that in order to have respect from someone or something.
As Indigenous people we understand our relationship to all of creation.
Honesty: It takes bravery to be honest in our words and actions.
Truth: All of these teachings go hand in hand.
Wisdom: a gift from the Creator, is to be used for the good of the people.
Bravery: We need to be brave in order to do the right thing even if the consequences are unpleasant.
