Our Native culture teaches that a man needs to respect a woman because she holds his son and is the creator of his next life. A woman also needs to respect a man because he gave her that life. Respect is a necessary part of all of a woman’s relationships.

Native culture teaches us to respect and appreciate women because life comes from the women.
