Indigenous peoples are a gentle people. Good child-rearing and kinship are values that nurture the child’s spirit. Children are surrounded by generations of caring adults. The sense of belonging is also tied to Mother Earth; all beings: plant life, four-legged,two-legged, winged ones and aquatic life are allinterconnected.

Children thrive from learning from and through experiences in a varietyof environments.
Successfully overcoming challenges provides inner satisfaction, pride and a sense of mastery.
Mastery is also rooted in the value of humility where children also acknowledge the achievements of others.
Indigenous Worldview teaches children the value of humility and that wisdom comes from Elders and ancestors through our strong oral tradition and stories.

Circle of Courage:
Independence
Introductory video of Dr. Martin Brokenleg explaining the circle of courage model
“We believe Independence is best understood as responsibility, which relates to ways we exercise personal power.” (Brokenleg, et al) This is done through self-control, self-confidence and shared responsibility. The law of non-interference allows guidance by parents and Elders teaching values through stories, experiences and modeling.

Generosity

Generosity is mapped out in our genes and to be generous and unselfish is the highest value. Generosity is a part of many ceremonies and protocols. Before we receive something, first we must give. Living beings such as humans, plants, animals, elements are more important than materialistic things.
