#5 | Indigenous Principles for Intentional Communities - Chief Phil Lane

What an incredible chat with Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr. we had this week!

He made for us an entire presentation on what he calls the “16 Indigenous Principles of Building Sustainable, Harmonious, and Prosperous Communities.” It was profoundly insightful and wise and rooted in Indigenous tradition, eldership, and perspective.

Here is a little clip where he is sharing about intentional community and its path to our collective abundant future.

In Western society, we enjoy so much abundance, but what is lacking is an abundance of community and connection. We live next door to people, some of which we have never even talked to. Back in the day of tribal life, we knew the people who lived near us because we were anchored to our homes.

You can learn more about Chief Phil Lane’s work by going to his website https://www.fwii.net/.

And you can read his incredible paper that speaks to the role of technology for good, called “Deep Social Networks and the Digital Fourth Way” here: https://st11.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1656376563?profile=original

It's important to bring back the indigenous elders that are connected with the deep original wisdom of this land. They hold the wisdom and the key to our civilization’s future. They understood the deep knowledge of village living and being intimately connected and dependent upon each other.

We are only as strong as the communities we belong to.
