For the Haudenosaunee, we seek a state of completeness – Iakonkwetaieri Iotonkwetison – in the Mohawk language. That completeness results from the understanding and active use of three principles (which will be discussed in greater detail later):
– Kan’ikonhrí:io – A Good Mind, Good Thoughts, & Good Ideas
– Skén:nen – Peacefulness, Calmness & Wellness
– Ka’satsténhsera – Inner power & Inner strength
