This is what white man has typically called "Indian Time"
a state of being in the world common to most of Indigenous peoples thoughout the world, as well as specifically Turtle Island... with the exceptions of Maya, Aztec and Toltec, and maybe a couple others that I am not familar with.
Only those tribes that developed accuracy for measuring the movement of the stars developed concepts of time and date... the world before is much more nebulous and moves on the rythms of the mother earth... not father sky, as we the people of the earth suckle from the breasts of the mother and must know her and honor the connection with every move as she dances around the sun. Minutes and hours are irrelevant. Days are for measuring moon cycles and moon cycles mesured the seasons for planting and harvest and hybernation of winter as well as the solstices and few could say how many years they had lived, nor cared to understand. A full cirlce of seasons in the first year showed you were worthy to live, Adulthood came with puberty. Old age with white hair or wrinkled skin. It was enough of measurement for those who lived close to the earth.
People use to live in the perpetual NOW. Our current culture based on perpetual time counting keeps us fractured and it is a system of control for the PTB to enslave others.
