Many Indigenous people share the same beliefs, morals and values. They have a very strong belief systems within their religion from nature to sweat lodges and smudging, and the love for their land and their people are very clear. For example during the keynote speaker he talked about during their family gatherings and tradistions their children are not put at separate tables or told to sit away from the elders as many Non-Native American families do during holidays and special occactions. This impacted me in a way that was pretty profound. Still I am not sure how I can even express it in words what this statement did for me. I do know I will no longer be keeping my children away from our meals at family
