This chapter, based on the literature and interviews with both Indigenous and non‐Indigenous participants, explores how land‐based spirituality is at the core of Indigenous societies globally. In this chapter, an Indigenous philosophy carries a message that spirituality is not only about one's inward journey but is also about creating a better world for all.
