Respect is mutual and reciprocal – in order to receive Respect you must give it to others. Respect develops when we get to know someone or something on a deeper level – first impressions are not always based on Respect. All of Creation, humans and non-humans, should be treated with Respect.

Respect is represented by the bison. The bison was at one time a significant resource for Anishinaabe people, giving every part of itself to sustain human life for food, clothing and shelter.
