Indigenous cultural awareness for foster families<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The circle holds many meanings in cultures around the world, but is especially sacred in the Native American or Indigenous cultures. It represents the sun, moon, and the earth. It marks the edge of the world and the four directions along with the winds that travel there. Most importantly it is a symbol for the circle or wheel of life which is forever evolving and teaching us new lessons as we travel each path. To travel a path together, sharing our cultures, is one step closer to Completing the Circle and healing the mind, body and spirit for our future, our children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circle of Healing
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One way to help Native American children to heal is through their proud and strong Native American heritage, and acknowledging this strong connection with their tribe and culture. We help them realize that the circle holds many meanings in cultures around the world, but the circle is especially sacred in the Native American culture. It represents the Sun, Moon, and the Earth. It marks the edge of the world with the four directions and the winds that travel there. Most importantly, it is a symbol for the Circle of Life, which is forever evolving and teaching us new lessons as we travel each path. These Native American children need to feel good about who they are, where they come from, who their ancestors are, and that they too draw strength through their mind, body, and spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
