Respect: Wisdom; Generosity; Bravery; Fortitude; Compassion; Humility. We try to walk with these values in our everyday lives, setting examples for our children, and others. In so doing Tunkasila watches over us all. We choose accepting our selves, what we can and can't do, as essential to being Human Beings on this Earth. We are Earthmen on a spiritual journey; this way of life is very sacred. Walking with prayer and these values helps all of our relatives in many ways. So no matter who you are or where you come from, we are your relatives and are here waiting for you to come home.
