Art and Nature, Nature and Mankind, Body
and Spirit, We and They — all are related, one to the other.
In Native American cultures a common spiritual thread, known in
the Lakota language as mitakuye oyasin or "we
are all related", connects all aspects of Life. Through
storytelling, myths and ceremonies of music and dance, the lessons
of mitakuye oyasin and other Native American cultural
traditions are passed down from the elders, preserving values, customs
and beliefs for younger generations.
The following Lesson Plan explores one particular
Native American myth as it relates to Nature's unique way of sharing
its knowledge and power with humans.
