Welcome to the Work of Four Arrows ( Wahinkpe Topa)
Donald Trent Jacobs, Ph.D, Ed.D
Scholar, author, activist, and traditional Indigenous worldview advocate — Four Arrows is internationally recognized for his work on decolonizing/Indigenizing minds and systems; restoring our original “kinship worldview,” supporting First Nation sovereignty, languages and diversity; teaching self and emergency hypnosis; creating an alternative dissertation; learning how to become fearless; and old-time piano playing.
Endorsement from Thom Hartman "Four Arrows is one of those rare voices whose writing doesn't merely inform, but fundamentally shifts how you see yourself and your place in the world. He weaves together practical applications of a Nature-Based worldview, rooted in wisdom originally transmitted to us by other-than-human life forms.......total endorsement
