The Greatest Distance in the World

The Greatest Distance in the World

is the 18 inches from the human head to the human heart.

This is a Native American saying. In this film, Kuuyux Ilarion Merculieff, President of the Global Center for Indigenous Leadership and Lifeways, explores what is possible when we live from our hearts. Beginning with the Unangan Tunuu greeting Aang Waan, which means 'Hello, My Other Self", Ilarion and Gabriel stand in a vision of what is possible when we live from a place of Unity, centered in our hearts.
