Teachings of the Good Mind

Rooted in Haudenosaunee teachings, the Good Mind emphasizes balance, respect, responsibility, and thinking beyond oneself for the benefit of the community and future generations. It calls on individuals to act with clarity, compassion, and unity, especially in times of challenge. At NACS, this teaching guides both vision and practice, shaping how programs are designed and how relationships are built with families and partners. Under the leadership of Executive Director Michael Martin, the Good Mind is more than a philosophy—it is a living framework that informs decision-making, strengthens community connections, and ensures NACS’s work remains grounded in cultural values and collective well-being.
