  • Four Directions Medicine Wheel Envisioned for Us by a Female Elder from the Anishnabe Nation
    The Medicine Wheel at the First Nations University of Canada is the Four Directions Medicine Wheel envisioned for us by a female Elder from the Anishnabe Nation. This is but one Medicine Wheel, and since there are many Medicine Wheels, some people may see the wheel differently. For example, there are age Medicine Wheels, tribal Medicine Wheels, wheels for the four sacred plants (cedar, sage, tobacco and sweetgrass), the four seasons, the four aspects of the self (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual), and personal Medicine Wheels. These wheels each have different colours, placements and meanings. The Four Directions Medicine Wheel as shared by a female Elder from the Anishnabe Nation “The Medicine Wheel was placed on Turtle Island by people thousands of years ago. For this Medicine Wheel, I want to honour one of the oldest things we have, which is our four directions. We seek knowledge from those four directions. We get power from those four directions. They pull stuff into our lives. When we call out to them in prayer, they will bring things to us. The four directions came with creation. We didn’t. We were the last thing created. And this is a garden, it’s coming from mother earth, so that’s where the four directions are coming from. When I look at a Four Directions Medicine Wheel, I see yellow in the east, blue in the south, red in the west, white in the north. The sun rises yellow in the east. It’s always going to rise in the east, and it’s always going to set in the west.

  • Sustainability in a Native American Context KV DRAFT 12 1 12
    1 The River of Life: Sustainable Practices of Native Americans and Indigenous Peoples Michael E Marchand A dissertation Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Kristiina Vogt, Chair Richard Winchell Daniel Vogt Program Authorized to Offer Degree School of Environmental and Forest Sciences 2 ©Copyright 2013 Michael E Marchand 3 University of Washington Abstract The River of Life: Sustainable Practices of Native Americans and Indigenous Peoples Michael E Marchand Chair of Supervisory Committee Dr. Kristiina Vogt School of Environmental and Forest Sciences This dissertation examines how Indigenous people have been forced to adapt for survival after exploitation by Colonial powers. It explains how the resultant decision making models of Indigenous people, based on their traditions and culture, have promoted sustainable growth and development more in harmony with ecological systems. In a 1992 address to the United Nations, a Hopi spiritual leader warned of his tribe’s prophecy that stated there are two world views or paths that humankind can take. Path One is based on technology that is separate from natural and spiritual law. This path leads to chaos and destruction. Path Two development remains in harmony with natural law and leads to paradise. Therefore humans, as children of Mother Earth, need to clean up the messes before it is too late and get onto Path Two and live in harmony with natural law. 4 Water is the focus for this dissertation, as it crosses all aspects of life. Rivers, for example, have a dual purpose. They are a source of life.

  • Youth Leadership: an Annotated Bibliography by Lesley Pruitt, Monash University Table of Contents
    Youth Leadership: An Annotated Bibliography By Lesley Pruitt, Monash University table of Contents Summary 2 Recommendations based on the Literature Considering Youth Leadership 3 Youth Leadership Development Programs: Theories & Frameworks 5 Youth Leadership Development Programs: School & University Based 11 Youth Leadership & Political Inclusion 14 Youth-Led Programs & Evaluation 16 Gender & Youth Leadership: Focus on Girls & Young Women 19 Other Publishing Relevant to Youth Leadership 27 References 28 1 SUMMARY Following discussions with Plan staff, this annotated bibliography seeks to update the knowledge base by highlighting relevant recent additions to the literature on this important topic. To that end, the focus here is on literature from the last decade, 2008-2017. This is not to suggest that literature produced before that point would be irrelevant but simply to highlight the current context as most relevant to people in the world experiencing youth today. Clearly this topic is one of growing interest, so this is necessarily a small slice of the existing literature on youth leadership. The aim is to cover the key areas of discussion and contention, including attention to what the research suggests matters to the field for future theory and practice. While some entries of course exhibit some degree of crossover, the research included here tended to cohere around 6 key thematic categories. These included: (1) Theories and Frameworks of Youth Leadership Development Programs; (2) Formal (School- or University-based) Youth Leadership Development Programs; (3) Youth Leadership & Political Inclusion; (4) Youth-Led Approaches to Programs and/or Evaluation; (5) Gendered Analyses of Youth Leadership: Focus on Young Women and Girls; and Other Publishing Relevant to Youth Leadership Research.
