Abstract

F A L L 2 0 1 4 W I C A Z O S A R E V I E W Indigenous leadership was about commitment to nurturing a healthy community and enriching the cultural tradition of one’s people. Indigenous leadership was about service and support of community values and life. Indigenous leaders were predisposed to care deeply and imagine richly with regard to their people. They listened to their own visions and the visions of their people; they used their imagination and creativity; and they gathered the people and moved them together to find their life.
