Neuware - Social scientist Gilbert Nichols, adopted into a Native American family over forty years ago, draws from his deep immersion in their culture and his academic work to bridge ancient wisdom and modern challenges. Nichols explores humanity's shared past, beginning with the Axial Age (2800-2200 BP), a time when borders, hierarchies, and materialistic ideologies solidified, shaping today's fractured systems.Through the lens of Native American traditions-rooted in spirituality, sustainability, storytelling, and equality-Nichols offers an alternative worldview. These values provide transformative insights into living harmoniously with the Earth and one another, offering solutions to the divisive paradigms dominating politics and society.The book culminates in a bold vision for integrating Indigenous perspectives into contemporary systems.
