Principles of tsawalk : an Indigenous approach to global crisis / Umeek (E. Richard Atleo).
In Nuu-chah-nulth, the word tsawalk means "one." It expresses the view that all living things -- humans, plants, and animals -- form part of an integrated whole brought into harmony through constant negotiation and mutual respect for the other. Contemporary environmental and political crises, however, reflect a world out of balance, a world in which Western approaches for sustainable living are not working.
