HR!Day381 - Relational Leadership: Conveying and Elevating Indigenous Wisdom
- --- Humanity Rising Day 381 - Thursday December 9, 2021 (GoTo Bottom)
Native American elders Lewis Cardinal (Woodland Cree) and Ilarion Kuuyux Merculieff (Unangan/Aleut) will be the speakers. Each has experiences they will share in a conversational manner. Lewis will establish the context of being relational with all life and share how his People blend hierarchy into their primarily relational way of being. Ilarion will follow with how when his People, when freed from US oppression in 1966, regained individual and tribal health by applying Indigenous ways of emergent design for successfully addressing each dilemma they faced. Attendees will be asked to share the relational situations in their lives – in some cases where goodness begets goodness, and others where relationships broke down. Lewis and Ilarion will share how and why when there are truly relational ways, goodness always prevails. Clarity will emerge regarding how modernity’s most pressing problems such as conflicts, social injustices, and climate change are eliminated or sharply diminished when Indigenous ways of knowing inform how to live our lives. They will help us understand that there is a consciousness to which modernity can shift, and the need and processes for embodying the ‘new’ consciousness. Attendees will be asked to let us know what they have glimpsed and where they would like to learn and experience more.
This will lead us into the following day’s presentation one where we each discover our own indigeneity (where Indigenous Elders tell us that ‘Indigeno’ equates to “comes from the land/Earth, and is interconnected to her and to all life.”), and by valuing the Earth and her teachings we might all once again find the ecological balance and communal harmony wE are seeking.
