"We were taught generosity to the poor
and reverence for the Great Mystery.
Religion was the basis of all Indian
training."
--Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa), SANTEE SIOUX
Every Indian knows and has a feeling inside
that, bottom line, our real purpose on earth is
to be of service to our fellow man and to be of
maximum service to the Great Spirit. The
Creator designed the earth to be self supporting
- everything is interconnected and all
things were created to be of service to each
other. The Indian way is to pray about all
things. Religion is not separate from any part
of our lives. Everything is spiritual and we are
to view all matters in this way. Family is spiritual,
work is spiritual, helping others is spiritual, our
bodies are spiritual, our talk is spiritual, our
thoughts are spiritual. We need to practice
seeing all things as spiritual.
Great Spirit,
today let me
help the needy
and allow me
the wisdom to
have respect
and reverence
for Your
teachings.
