added 'better source needed' tag to footnote #7, as this work is a non-objective political opinion piece from a publisher of Christian literature
Moving this to talk page. Self-help book is not a reliable source for such a bold claim, and it's based on a misunderstanding of disparate research, see talk

Maslow's classification hierarchy has been revised over time. The original hierarchy states that a lower level must be completely satisfied and fulfilled before moving onto a higher pursuit. However, today scholars prefer to think of these levels as continuously overlapping each other. This means that the lower levels may take precedence back over the other levels at any point in time.<ref name=":0" />
 
Maslow's idea may have been informed by his work with [[Blackfeet Nation]] through conversations with elders and inspiration from the shape and meaning of the Blackfoot [[tipi]], although Maslow never conceptualized his work as a pyramid. There has been no evidence that Maslow stole or borrowed ideas from the Blackfeet from his hierarchy of needs despite popular claims that Maslow misrepresented the Blackfoot worldview. The Blackfoot worldview places self-actualization as a basis for community-actualization and community-actualization as a basis for cultural perpetuity, the latter of which exists at the top of the tipi in Blackfoot philosophy.<ref name=":4">{{Cite book|last=Kingston|first=John|title=American Awakening: Eight Principles to Restore the Soul of America|publisher=Zondervan|year=2020|isbn=9780310360759|chapter=Maslow and Transcendence}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=April 2021}}
