I think you will find that many such philosophies can be attributable to several different sources. Its quite likely that such wisdom has been independently discovered by unconnected people in different countries. What really matters is the wisdom behind the words which seem to be a fair indication of the community learning promoted by INGOTs. INGOTs originated and are managed from the UK so there is no particular affiliation with Native Americans or Chinese for that matter ;-) Ian -- www.theINGOTS.org www.schoolforge.org.uk www.opendocumentfellowship.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
