We all are part of the Earth "The earth is the mother of all people and all people should have equal rights upon it." Says Chief Joseph one of great Chiefs of the Nez Perce people. This should include the right to our spiritual practices as individual human beings and distinct cultures. We are in one harmony and universal interconnectivity “Embracing and learning from our differences, changes fear of the unknown into acceptance and tolerance leading to the ultimate bond of unification” Johnathan Shooting Star, in the Confluence of life as distinct human beings living and learning how to love the Creator and the creation, ourselves and others as the Spirit of the Creator has given to each of us this right. This is a right not a privilege. No religion or human should ever impair another from seeking and fulfilling and taking responsibility for his own understanding of his relationship with the Creator. The religions of the world should work together in solidarity for all who seek this goal. When the Creator himself gave the peoples of world different religious ceremonies so that people in different regions could understand the Creator and the Creation from their perspectives. These different ways of doing and understanding religious thought were never supposed to separate us. They were however intended to help us understand each other and see our commonplace in the circle of life. Chief Joseph also said "I believe much trouble would be saved if we open our hearts more".
