Quote by Audrey Shenandoah

“There is no word for 'nature' in my language. Nature, in English, seems to refer to that which is separate from human beings. It is a distinction we don't recognize. The closest words to the idea of 'nature' translate to refer to things which support life... How can one be superior to that upon which one depends for life..." - Audrey Shenandoah, Onondaga Nation Clan Mother, writer, adviser to the UN⁣”

“BIRTH ORDER, n. The sequence in which children are born into a family. Firstborns, like only children, typically receive a lot of attention and later have a slightly higher IQ. Once there is more than one child in a family, children often compete viciously, or take opposing paths so they can’t be compared. See ALFRED ADLER.”

“SCHEMA, n. A mental template students use to process and categorize new information based on previous experiences. They do so by either assimilation or accommodation. For example, a child might have a schema for a dog that includes features like “four-legged” and “furry.” If the child encounters a cat for the first time, they might initially assimilate it into the “dog” schema. However, when her dad tries to hang a painting on the wall, and she then notices that the dog looks up to his master in full admiration while the cat observes the two in arrogance—realizing that the image is far from being hung straight—the child accommodates this new information by creating a new schema for "cat.”

This part of us is dangerous because we fail to recognize it as a separate entity, and may be unaware of its existence until it has betrayed us into some act of stupidity.”
