Elder's Meditation of the Day December 15

| "People are equal partners with the plants and animals, not their masters who exploit them." |  |
| --Haida Gwaii, Traditional Circle of Elders | |
| As human beings, we are not above anything nor are we below anything. Because of being equal, we need to discuss a little about the value of respect. Not just respect when it comes to human beings, but respect when it comes to everything. We are not masters over things; we are caretakers for the Great Spirit. We need to treat all things with respect. | |
Great Spirit, let me accept and see all things as equal.

Elder's Meditation of the Day December 14

| "Male and female is fundamental to life; partners in work to be done." | |
| --Oren R. Lyons, Spokesman, Traditional Circle of Elders | |
| The Great Spirit created a system which would allow us to reproduce, to have companionship, to love, to laugh, to cry, and be happy. Man and Woman each have gifts the other doesn't have. But, together they have these gifts to share with each other. The Great Spirit made it this way. So let us treat each other with respect. Let us look upon each other in a sacred way. | |
Grandfather, Grandmother, bring the spirits to teach us.
