LOOK AT HOW THE ANIMALS CARE FOR THEIR YOUNG:
Paul Ortega is a longtime friend, and is a Mescalero Apache. Although Paul is best known for his music, he was raised by his elders teaching him "medicine ways", and these teachings help link traditional understandings with contemporary human problems. When we see each other, here and there, we often talk about suicide prevention, healing, music, and art--he believes in the healing power of art. I asked him, years ago, about what was going on with young people and the violence--kids killing kids. Paul told me that when I got confused and couldn't figure these things out, that I should "look at how the animals care for their young".
The Apache elders began teaching Paul at a very early age and for the first four years, he was told to learn everything he could about water. After water, Paul was instructed to learn everything he could about plants for four more years. Then he spent another four years learning about animals. The last four years of teaching was spent in the study of human behavior. Paul Ortega reminded me that we human beings ARE animal. He said that human beings are always thinking about themselves and justifying what they WANTED to do. Animals, he said, aren't like that. When they have young ones, their primary responsibility is to care for those young.
As we visited, it became easier to see what Paul meant. From the time that the young are "in the nest" (in the home), the parent is firmly in control. Sure, the little ones are allowed to play and explore, however, they quickly learn what they can and cannot do. This is reinforced with a growl or a cuff of the paw that will roll them over and over--it gets their attention, but does not injure them. The young are not allowed to stray far and will quickly scurry to the mother if there is danger. Also, the mother will protect her young with a ferocity that far exceeds defending of territory or food.
Paul Ortega pointed out that there is no wavering or waffling about the parent wanting to go play bingo, or hang out with friends. He said that although we often say we have to work to support the family, this is also justifying what we want to do. We justify our lifestyle--what used to be luxury items are now necessities.
In conclusion, this Apache elder reminded me, that for the animals there are no ambiguities in the role of the mother or parent--no bingo, new cars, or fancy clothes. Their sole purpose is to raise, care for, and teach the young how to survive.
