This is a beautiful tribute! I wish Western society had not wiped out and stamped down so many of these small cultures, who had such wonderful ways of viewing the world and our place in it. "Ohana" reminds me a bit of African "ubuntu," in an adjacent sort of way. Thanks for sharing and sorry for your loss 💞

Thank you Bear for your empathy 🙏 It feels like there is a growing movement, at least in the Bay, to reclaim a grounded sense of sacredness in our lives.
