Ayanisach (in Cree): He who tells stories of the past

- What is a vision quest?
- If we really want to know ourselves, we must at some point in our lives connect with a higher wisdom that knows all about us. Our weaknesses, our mistakes, our potentials. Many Native American tribes do this through our meditation known as a vision quest. The setting aside of a time and place, alone in nature, to connect with the higher power and explore that which is within. Somewhere in that space of time as we are questing, answers come. It's an opportunity to know more about ourselves and our choices in life.

Stories really are the foundation of our lives. They are how those close to us will remember us after we've gone. In life, not all of our stories have a strict beginning, middle and end. Our best stories are moments in time that help us make sense of our world.
