  • Native American Code of Ethics


    NATIVE AMERICAN CODE OF ETHICS . Give thanks to the Creator each morning upon rising and each evening before Sleeping.

    Seek the courage and strength to be a better person.
    Showing respect is a basic law of life.
    Respect the wisdom of people in council. Once you give an idea it no longer belongs to you, it belongs to everyone.
    Be truthful, at all times.
    Always treat your guests with honour and consideration. Give your best food and comforts to your guests.
    The hurt of one is the hurt of all. The honour of one is the honour of all.
    Receive strangers and outsiders kindly.
    All races are Children of the Creator and must be respected.
    To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, or nation is One of the main purposes for which people are created. True Happiness comes to those who dedicate their lives to the service of Others.
    Observe moderation and balance in all things.
    Know those things that lead to your well-being and those things that lead to your destruction.
    Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms: in prayer, in dreams, in solitude and in the words and actions of elders and friends.

This is how I pictured my place to be when I first moved here 2 1/2 years ago with nothing but a few plants and bare walls surrounding me.  I dreamed of my trailer being covered in vines and it’s well on it’s way now with my lovely morning glory vines now reaching the roof.

History or Myth

Posted by shirlstars on May 12, 2008

You decide!

Most  people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and  still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so  brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom  today of carrying a bouquet when getting  married.

Baths  consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the  privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the  women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was  so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, Don’t throw  the baby out with the Bath water..
