¨Sharing one skin,¨ is the identity that comes connected to the land. What this connection does is keep us from confusion. Humans have four main capacities. We have the physical, emotional, thinking, intellectual and spiritual. The emotional self is the heart that helps us connect with others. The thinking intellectual self is the spark that ignites. The spiritual self is a place where things are true itself. ¨It is the source that affects all things living in our life. The physical self is the body of earth itself. The body is sacred.¨
