ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Wahkohtowin

Wahkohtowin is a big word that comes from the Cree language. It means the way everything is connected and related to each other. Imagine you have a family tree with all your relatives on it- your mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, cousins, and so on. Wahkohtowin means that your family tree is connected to other family trees, your friends, and even the plants and animals around you, and you can learn something from each of them. It's like you're all part of one big circle, and everything you do affects everyone else, just like a domino effect. So, it's important to take care of each other and the world we live in, so we can keep everything connected and balanced.
