What is the Indigenous Axiom and its Contrast?
Axiom: seek to espouse the mi'yp teachings,
and acquire and apply the súumesh life forces all for the benefit of others in the “family”
The means to the goal of preserving the "family" is to two fold:
1) be attentive to and fully adhere to the instructional, moral and ethical teachings of the miyp, and especially that of the ethic of sharing (to unselfishly help others in need),
and 2) to obtain and apply súumesh for the well-being of others. The responsibility of the entire "family’s" health is on the shoulders of those who have the ability to give. The spiritual realm becomes a means rather than ends, helping facilitate the welfare of the family.
