Our Philosophy - The Seven Teachings
The Creator has given First Nations people teachings to provide guidance, comfort, and support in our work here on "Turtle Island." The teachings are important for all peoples as they lay out the fundamental wisdom of Indigenous peoples and their ability to live in harmony with the natural environments and ideally, with other inhabitants of this world. At Indigenous Management Group, Inc., we are committed to incorporating this essential wisdom with the scientific tools and models of the modern world. Brought together, these two paradigms are able to provide a truly holistic approach, which generates valid data and program information, while at the same time remaining culturally valid and useful to the populations where it matters most, amongst our Indigenous peoples.
Seven Teachings given to First Nations people
- To cherish knowledge is to know wisdom.
- To know love is to know peace.
- To honour all of creation is to have respect.
- Courage is to face life with integrity.
- Honesty in a situation is to be brave.
- Humility is to know yourself as a sacred part of creation.
- Truth is to know all of these things.
