A framework for cultures of respect

Martin Brokenleg brings Indigenous wisdom into conversation with Western science to examine the contrast between cultures of respect and cultures of domination. The book develops the Circle of Courage—Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity—as a framework for understanding human needs and the conditions that support individuals alongside their communities. Its idea of “re-righting” history is framed not as changing the past, but as drawing on Indigenous knowledge to imagine societies oriented toward respect and harmony with Nature.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Indigenous knowledge and its dialogue with Western science.
  • Those exploring cultural psychology, community wellbeing, or the Circle of Courage.
  • Readers concerned with the effects of domination and the possibility of more respectful societies.

Book overview

Amidst abundant technology and wealth, our world is increasingly dangerous and divided. The authors blend Indigenous Wisdom with Western Science to identify powerful simple truths. Humans have biologically evolved to live in Cultures of Respect. But, for several millennia, much of the world has been locked in Cultures of Domination where the powerful exploit the weak. "Re-Righting" history is not about revising the past but discovering the untapped wisdom of Indigenous peoples which is needed to make the world "Right." Humans thrive in secure societies that meet the needs both of individuals and the community. The authors extend their earlier Native American research on the Circle of Courage, the universal human needs for Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity. This is the blueprint for building Cultures of Respect where humans can live in harmony with others and Nature.
