            The phrase "all our relations" is a familiar one for many indigenous peoples in North America. It encapsulates an entire philosophy of humans in relation to other living things-plants, animals, rocks, earth-that emphasizes the intricately connected web of relationships that sustains our mutual ability to live out our shared existence on the Earth together. In those teachingsk, all living things matter, all are important, all must be treated as relatives. Even harmful, frightening, or negative relatives are important and must be understood and honored if we are to survive together in the same spaces.

            "All our relations" is a phrase used both as invocation and conclusion-a heuristic that forces us to consider the balance between the weight of each human's responsibility in maintaining the balance of the world and in understanding the smallness of each individual in relation to the larger web of meaning.

            See you in Atlanta!
