In my language, which is CREE,

the mind is called MOM TUNE AY

CHI KUN. MOM TUNE AY CHI KUN

is the sacred place inside each one of us

where no one else can go.      

It is in this place that each one of us      

can dream, imagine, fantasize, create      

and, yes, even talk

to the grandfathers and grandmothers.

The thoughts and images that come

from this place are called

MOM TUNE AY CHI KUNA

which means wisdom

and they can be given to others

in stories, songs, dances and art

(Maria Campbell, ACHIMOONA).
