PERSONAL GIFT PROGRAM

Introduction

Personal Gifts and Personal Purpose

We are taught that we come into creation with personal purpose – that we come into creation to fulfill a specific purpose to our family of creation. In order to fulfill this purpose we come into creation with what we call personal gifts. These personal gifts are natural skills and abilities that we have that will help us fulfill our purpose. These gifts might leadership, the ability to heal the ability to teach or even as simple as the ability to run fast, do math or even fish or hunt. We understand that there are many different abilities needed for our families and communities healthy and happy.

Personal gifts were seen as central to individual identity as even the name you were given centered on your personal gifts. Depending on the gift determined who was responsible of teaching youth. In ancestral time teachers and students were matched and directly from the families and communities of the students. While there were standards to living a sustainable life and responsibilities to to family roles – learning was very much a respected and honored individualized path

Our Program

Our ancestral understanding is that these gifts are not just seen a personal gifts but were revered as gifts for the families, communities and the rest of creation. For this reason the development of the individual personal gifts was essential. Our ancestral education systems focused on what we know today as ‘Individualized Education Programs.
