. Failure to adhere to the dogmas as required by the supernatural beings leads to calamities in one’s life. Therefore, every individual is a spiritual being with the nature of playing an enormous role in perfecting this spirituality. Individuals will thus act to attain spiritual perfectness as a duty and nature of every being. Consequently, the thoughts, beliefs, and actions of individuals could be read and understood through a spiritual lens regardless of their culture or other affiliations.

Rice Seeing the World with Aboriginal Eyes delves deep into a people deeply rooted in religion and spirituality a deeply rooted culture among the aborigines. The book opens with the seeing path or the eastern door, which brings out the fundamental cause of the world and nature including the beliefs and knowledge that results from spirituality as experienced through vision. As such, the environment plays a significant role in spirituality, which ensures the sustenance of this spirituality within individuals throughout their life regardless of their immediate location. For instance, Rice explains that as a result of the immigration of the aborigine people into urban centers, the urban youths have more access to their traditions than ever before. the migrating people carry along their cultural heritage, making the urban youths cement their cultural values rather than defy it (Rice, 3). The strong effect of nature in determining the spirituality of individuals is further brought out in Benton-Benais The Mishomis Book. From chapter one, the author narrates how the earth is a woman and water is her lifeblood.

A woman is significant in that she symbolizes productivity of nature while water sustains life in the universe, the same way blood sustains life in humans.
