Cultures of Respect: Re-Righting History

Amidst abundant technology and wealth, our world is increasingly dangerous and divided. The authors blend Indigenous Wisdom with Western Science to identify powerful simple truths. Humans have biologically evolved to live in Cultures of Respect. But, for several millennia, much of the world has been locked in Cultures of Domination where the powerful exploit the weak. "Re-Righting" history is not about revising the past but discovering the untapped wisdom of Indigenous peoples which is needed to make the world "Right." Humans thrive in secure societies that meet the needs both of individuals and the community. The authors extend their earlier Native American research on the Circle of Courage, the universal human needs for Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity. This is the blueprint for building Cultures of Respect where humans can live in harmony with others and Nature.
