Restoring the Kinship Worldview

A richly painted image of a human hand gently holding the Earth, surrounded by a lush natural landscape. Trees, plants, and animals fill the background in vibrant greens and earthy tones, with a soft river winding through the scene. The overall atmosphere conveys harmony, care, and interconnectedness with nature.

What if the crises we face—environmental, social, even personal—stem from a deeper disconnection at the level of worldview?

In Restoring the Kinship Worldview, Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows) and Darcia Narvaez invite us to rediscover a different way of seeing the world—one rooted in relationship, reciprocity, and reverence. Drawing on 28 Indigenous precepts and a wide range of voices, the book offers both a powerful critique of the dominant Western paradigm and a gentle call to live in a more balanced, connected way.

I’ve written a full review of the book, highlighting its structure, message, and impact. If you’re looking for a perspective shift—or simply a beautiful, thoughtful read—you can check it out here:
