Mitakuye Oyassin, All My Relations

Mitakuye Oyassin (translated into English as “all my relations”) is a Lahkota/Dahkota/Nahkota expression that encapsulates how many American Indian spiritualities relate to the other beings with whom we share the earth, our common home. Join us for an informative and inspiring evening of reflection on how American Indian spirituality can help us to hear with new ears the call to ecological conversion. Come learn and explore how our current spirituality can be informed and enriched by the relational spirituality practiced by American Indians.
