An awareness of our essential kinship with anima mundi, which indigenous people know well, is necessary for us to maintain a vital presence in this world.

Yes, thank you, Amy. The reference I linked to in my essay said 12 Tribes, so, I went with it, although another reference said 11. Either way, I decided to err on extra than leaving a Tribe unmentioned.

I wrote and spoke a powerful poem about the Indigenous and it got me an offer to run for office. I am grateful to the Indigenous Wise Ones.

I appreciate you!!!
