This story follows a group of elementary school students as they travel to a nearby Indian reservation to join with Indian children and hear an Anishinabe elder a tell of the Seven Fires Prophecy -- a teaching of ancient wisdom that forsaw, long ago, what might become of the Anishinabe people. The prophets had foretold that the Anishinabe people would need to move from their Atlantic coast homeland westward throughout and beyond the Great Lakes, to recognize the existence of good and bad among all people and learn how to deal with these different traits, to anticipate struggles among and between people of different cultures, to gather and protect their native wisdom in the face of efforts to destroy or erase it, and -- according to the prophecy of the Seventh Fire -- to be prepared to recall and share that wisdom when the time was right. The elder concluded his presentation by suggesting that now might be the time for all of Earth's people to consider adopting more balanced, holistic world views, such as those of the Anishinabe people, in order to deal with the many social and environmental problems facing the modern world. "Indigenous people all over the world still possess the wisdom of how to think with their minds and hearts. If we bring this way of decision-making into our lives, it will help us create the positive change we need to make. We are living in the time of the Seventh Fire. It's up to all of us to determine if the Seventh Fire will light the Eighth and final Fire of peace and healing. If we make the right choices, we will be successful! Are we the new people of the Seventh Fire? Could you be the Children of the Seventh Fire?" After finishing the story, the elder asked questions of the students; they responded, discussions ensued, ideas were formed. Then they returned to their communities and, in many different ways, acted upon what they had learned from Kinoo's teaching of the Seven Fires Prophecy! Could you, your family, your friends, and your neighbors also be Children of the Seventh Fire? Indigenous wisdom draws upon the complex, holistic perspectives of traditional lifeways to help inform children and adults with a more comprehensive and balanced understanding of the modern world and its challenges. Such balanced insight helps individuals to make better informed decisions in all areas of their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada is more diverse than ever before, and the application of transcultural literacies in Canadian classrooms is needed for the successful growth of students and teachers alike. In this edited volume, world-renowned educators offer unique perspectives on the impact of race, culture, and identity in the classroom. With an interdisciplinary approach, this book investigates not only how teachers can design learning spaces to accommodate diverse students, but also how they can build literacy programs to complement and further develop the varied strengths, skills, and experiences of those students. Educators will learn to better understand the trajectories of immigration: how immigrant students often enter the classroom after living in multiple places, acquiring several languages, and forming memories of places that are different from Canadian socio-cultural and geographic landscapes. Examining the roles of both teachers and students in transcultural language learning, this text will benefit students in teacher education programs and in graduate-level education studies that focus on language and literacy, diversity, and global citizenship.

The Manifesting Paradise Teachings are the urgently required divine guidance that humanity needs in order to avert devastating social, and environmental catharsis. Globally, humanity is now facing cathartic social and environmental collapse. Humanity is rapidly creating dystopia; the opposite to utopia or paradise. The human population is expected to double within twenty-five years, while climate instability and population pressures are expected to cause severe water and food shortages. Manifesting Paradise identifies the underlying causes that have brought humanity to this point and offers the simple solutions that can empower us to easily manifest personal, global, and planetary paradise.

Deep throated Native drums are playing softly in the distance and somehow remind you of the beat of your mother's heart. A Native flute echoes in the wind from tree to tree, and an uncommon peace begins to settle over you. A sage old Native Warrior, in the full wisdom of his years, is sitting with you ... and begins to speak ... and you close your eyes to listen. He speaks of the old ways, he speaks of the old honors, and he speaks of his love for his people and their devotion to the balance in Nature. His heart and his words are kind and gentle ... but the space between those words is filled with foreboding. He offers hope, but ..... "This is the way I would begin describe my waking vision ... a solo journey of four days and three nights alone, into the wilderness ... a Lakota style "vision quest" with no food and no water. It was a trail that would lead deep into the heart, and the mind, and the body, and the Spirit!" ......... Robin Miller

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ceremonies of Renewal, everything from the movement of the sun to the stability of society is in a state of flux. It is through negotiating compacts with the energies of the universe and carrying out periodic ceremonies of renewal that stability and balance can be ensured. Thus, the People of the Plains meet each year to celebrate the Sun Dance, which is performed for many days around the sacred cottonwood tree. They claim this ceremony plays its role in maintaining the harmony and balance of the cosmos. For the author, the Sun Dance became his introduction to the world of Native American science. In sacred mathematics, numbers are not abstract, static things, but living entities that transform one into the other. And history is not written down but passed on by storytellers who recount events of past generations, including migrations that took place before time as humans experienced it.
