Loyalty and fidelity are welded in many men by Thor, or Shango, and weaved into the fabric of many women by Spider Woman. Loyalty and fidelity are basic to the framework of the two primal energies of Creation: the Feminine and the Masculine. Anything outside of this is sustainable by that which really holds societies, relationships, institutions like marriages and ideals in place, in sacred space. The abstract is the open relationships the Western world tries to put out as a norm, and as an African-First Nations man I have to constantly look long and hard at the legacy of European culture, tradition and belief to gauge whether I am dealing with truth turned cockeyed, or whether I am dealing with long standing perversions seeking legitimacy.
As an African, or being from the cultures that lost the strength and longevity and richness of the extended family to the conquest of the Euro-American I have to be honest. Peoples from those traditions are struggling within the parameters of the foreign and divisive format of the nuclear family for a semblance of order that isn't there and cannot surface beyond a superficial level. Struggling to hold a working formula for family is frustrated by an insistence on a misconception of freedom in the lexicon of American independence, or how closely aligned bondage is with freedom is in the discussion and the act of marriage and relationships between men and women! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9.17.13
