Nbwaakaawin — Wisdom:

Wisdom is learning from our life experiences to become the best humans we can be.

We seek the truth by listening to the knowledge of the heart to understand our connection

and relationship with all physical and spiritual life. We share this wisdom to walk in

balance respectfully upon Mother Earth as we live the Seven Grandfather Teachings.

Use your senses to feel the natural world around you. Think about the life journey of the

water, rocks, trees, plants, birds, or the stars. What is their wisdom? What have you

learned today?
