The movies we watch, the music we listen to, the kinds of folks that we allow within our family boundaries. That sovereignty of the mind is critical because there are forces that are at work in the world, cosmic forces, forces outside of our human consciousness, that are trying to program us to hate, to be greedy, to make war, to fear each other” –Kahontakwas Diane LongboatAbout Kahontakwas Diane Longboat:Kahontakwas Diane Longboat, B.A, B.Ed, M.Ed is a member of the Turtle Clan, Mohawk Nation at Six Nations Grand River Territory, Canada and a citizen of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

Deep spirituality means that you're going to first and foremost pray for your teacher. When you're ready, that teacher will appear and will hopefully be connected to community, to lodges that will assist you on the journey of your own healing and self-development.” –Kahontakwas Diane LongboatSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
