Dibaadendizowin — Humility:

As Anishinaabek, we are dependent upon all of Creation to learn our values, find our

purpose, and survive. We accept the teachings and guidance from all spiritual beings —

the animals, birds, trees, water, wind, and Mother Earth. Creation teaches us to live

each day in respectful and loving ceremony. We walk in balance on Mother Earth with

kindness, awareness, and love for each other.

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 humility to them? What are they

teaching you today?
