011 Values- Native Americans

Values - Native Americans

1. Sharing-Honor and respect are gained through sharing.

2. Cooperation-Family and group take precedence over the individual.

3. Noninterference-They are taught not to interfere with others; observe as opposed to react.

4. Time Orientation-More involved in the present than in the future. Planning and punctuality is not really important.

5. Extended family orientation-Strong respect for elders and interrelationships between large numbers of people.

6. Harmony with nature-Native Americans practice acceptance as opposed to trying to control their environment.

7. Value differences produce numerous problems for the culturally diverse counselor, especially when they are judged from a non- Native Indian perspective.
