NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURES have some of the most beautiful Cultural Practices which honor Mother Earth and Respect all Life as FAMILY. The traditional lifestyle of indigenous Americans included meaningful daily rituals, similar to prayer, in order to give gratitude to Mother Earth, Father Sky and to connect the Great Spirit of all life when they needed Divine Guidance. Tribal people living close to the Earth are the most Loving, Humble, Kind, Conscious and Simple Human Beings that I have ever witnessed. All Humanity could benefit greatly from Native Wisdom and how they live in peace and harmony with Earth and All Life. Here Native elder Thomas Banyacya Sr recalls his past and explains the sacredness of Mother Earth and some of his life experiences from his own cultural perspective.
