The purpose of this webinar is to touch upon Native Spiritual beliefs on other beings within Creation that the Creator sent to teach man how to live in harmony with, how to conduct oneself, but also to bring healing, protection, and guidance. This also brings about the relationships and beliefs that we are all brothers and sisters under the Creator, because without Nature and the rest of Creation, man cannot survive. This presentation will also bring about a better understanding to non-Natives to correct stereotypical beliefs of Natives and also to bring about knowledge of the teachings taught to these speakers that may be different from other tribal teachings.
