Archival Collection of Talks on Various Bahá'í Subjects

Philosophy of the American Indians and Approaches to International Development Towards a New Social and Economic Order

1988

Dr. Eleanor Sioui begins her talk with the recitation of a poem. Praises “Mrs. Rabbani” for her efforts on behalf of native peoples. Many native peoples have questioned their existence. “I don’t belong anywhere.” “What is my purpose?” She decries the encroachment of materialism. “Spirituality for us is our empathy for one another.” Dr. Sioui deplores the fact that spirituality is not a part of the current educational systems. Contrasts the misuses of the so-called 3rd world by the 1st world.
