| Abstract | A study of American Indian practices and beliefs is useful as a counterpoint to the assumptions of western technological societies. American Indian culture includes a spiritual heritage that integrates both a tribe and individuals with the universe. It emphasizes harmony with all aspects of life and provides a model for redefining the relationships between society and technology. This paper examines American Indian ideas about creation, relationships with all life forms, and harmony with natural forces in contrast to western beliefs of subject and object separation. American Indian concepts of oneness with the earth, which led to difficulties in understanding private land ownership, and ceremonies that portray the unity and awareness of all elements are highlighted. Western civilization faces ecological, social, and technological problems because of a lack of awareness about how various interactions and techniques impact the entire universe. A study of American Indian beliefs can help people view technology from a connected or wholeness perspective, rather than from a position of efficiency, speed, or operational ease. (JHP) |
