From page 14:

“The Lakota Warrior and Holy Man Black Elk also spoke of Seven Generations.”

“...an Anishinaabe Ojibwe perspective is separate from all other indigenous tribes, such as Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, or Haudenoshaunee Iroquois. The language of each of these peoples are as different from one another,, comparatively speaking, as Somali, German, and Mandarin Chinese.”

From page 13: Page 12: Part 1: The Seven Generations

"According to Iroquois tradition, the Peacemake Deganawidah told the Iroquois people, 'In every deliberation, in every decision, think seven generations into the future.'"

"This is the CONCEPT of Seven Generations: the belief that an individual's choices have the potential to impact their descendants for generations, and, likewise, that an individual is affected by choices made by their ancestors."

"The CONCEPT of Seven Generations shows up internationally in indigenous territories across North America"
