The Algonquian peoples of the northern woodlands hold a tradition that seven grandfathers gave the people seven teachings or gifts by which to live in harmony with all creation. While different groups may know them by different names and consider these gifts along with the Medicine Wheel as the Creators original instructions, the Anashanabeg peoples (the Ojibwa, Chippewa, and Potawatomi among others) know them as RESPECT, LOVE, BRAVERY, TRUTH, WISDOM, HUMILITY and HONESTY. These gifts represent the VALUES… of these people as developed over thousands of years of observation and trial and error. Many indigenous peoples hold similar traditions as do many modern religions. In this eight week discussion group we will explore the concepts of balance as depicted by the Medicine Wheel and its relationship to these seven gifts and how we can use them in our daily lives to make the lives of others and ourselves better, to begin healing our mother earth and to live “meaningful” lives.
