Native Americans view crime as a problem that affected the entire community rather than a personal problem. They had a holistic perception of the universe and they cared for the healing process of the resolution and they used mediation to solve conflicts as they did not believed in the justice system.
Mediation is a method of alternative dispute resolution to help people achieve an agreement by an impartial and neutral third party unlike the litigation process where a judge imposes a decision.
A mediator is not an advice giver or decision maker but he encourages the parties involved in creating an agreement taking both sides in consideration. This is inspired by Native Americans wisdom and it teaches us to take in consideration a person's emotions.
