The story of a numerical system nearly consigned to oblivion.
Promote Respect and Understanding between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous People’s Knowledge Systems.
The [Re]-Grounding of Modern Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) via World-Wide Traditional Knowledge Systems.
Whole Earth Engineering, Inc., via the innovative paradigm of integrating Indigenous Ways of Knowing with Western Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) disciplines, creates for communities served, cost-effective, holistic, sustainable, and feasible environmental and engineering solutions aligned with and respectful of the Earth. Through the integration of ancient wisdom with modern innovative solutions, Whole Earth Engineering,Inc., demonstrates that new respectful, informative, and transformative profitable market opportunities are possible for all when cash-flow and conscience align.
The Medicine Wheel, also known as the four grandfathers, the four winds, the four directions, the sacred hoop, and the spiral, is an example of Nature’s Timeless Wisdom. The Medicine Wheel is an indigenous framework integrating all elements found on Earth; and within the human body when it is viewed as a mini model of the Earth’s systems. Each quadrant or direction represents an element: South: Water/Plants; West: Earth/Material; North: Air/Animals; and East: Fire/Ether (Quantum Energy).
Earth’s Directions & Elements
Understanding how each element of the Earth constructively supports the other allows the creation of project outcomes technically engineered in alignment with and respectful of the Earth. The constructive cycle is – wood feeds fire – fire ash feeds the Earth. – Earth contains metals – metals enrich water – water feeds wood. The reverse order is known as the destructive cycle and results in harmful outcomes for environmental systems.
NORTH: Air & Animals
Animals and humans need clean air. We seek client solutions that mitigate harmful impacts and/or improve air quality outcomes.
EAST: Fire & Ether
The Sun provides life’s energy. We incorporate the understanding of the movement of energy through nonphysical fields (para-physics) into client solutions.
SOUTH: Water & Plants
Water is life. We seek creative, realistic ways to ensure our clients would drink the water their businesses leave its neighbors.
WEST: Earth & Material
EVERYTHING is made of Earth. From organic to “man-made” materials, we seek opportunities to “Lean & Green” our client’s supply chain and processes.
Whole Earth Engineering, Inc supports your organization align its cash-flow and conscience on three levels:
1) Global Action or Glocalization – global impacts via local actions – found via partnerships with other conscious global to local businesses
