"Meditations with Native American Elders"January 8

"Native Americans are essentially

Calling for righteousness. By this they

Mean a shared ideology developed by

All people using their purest and most

Unselfish minds."

-Lorraine Canoe/Tom Porter, MOHAWK

The Native way is to first focus on decisions

That will be good for the people and then for

Yourself. Righteousness means "to think right."

Our way is to consider the good of all first.

This helps our minds to be unselfish and pure.

This is the spiritual way. This can be very hard

To do because the world we live in says to take

Care of yourself first. A man of God cannot be

Taken advantage of unless it is the will of the

Creator. The Creator really controls every

Thing. To have a good future, the people must

Gather in a circle and pray for the highest

Good for the people.

Great Mystery,

Today let me

Love instead of

Being loved.

Let me be

Giving instead

Of receiving.

Show me the

Advantages of

Having a

Giving heart.
