Native Americans




Picture one: Indians believe everything is sacred. A lesson can be learned from all of Native American stories. Native spirituality is mostly based around honor, love and respect.
The ten Indian commandments:

THE TEN INDIAN COMMANDMENTS!

Treat the Earth and all that dwell thereon with respect!
Remain close to the Great Spirit
Show great respect for your fellow beings
Work together for the benefit of all mankind!
Give assistance and kindness wherever needed
Do what you know to be right
Look after the well-being of mind and body
Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good
Be truthful and honest at all times
Take full responsiblity for your actions.....

Picture two: The Indians were some of the first people to inhabit the United States. When the Indians and the Pilgrims met at Cape Cod, they made a friendship and celebrated over a huge feast which is now Thanksgiving.
