From page 75:

"Native American spirituality is very simply, being a good person and living in harmony with nature."

"Native American spirituality models virtuous behavior rather than restricting 'bad' behavior."

From page 76:

"The Elders' teachings are meant to awaken our innate goodness; a person who attains a spiritual state will naturally behave in a good way. Implicit in this philosophy is the notion that Native American Values are not rules that must be obeyed but rather, good words that are meant to inspire, guide, and instruct."
