Native American wisdom

[Doug]

"If all the green things that grow were taken from the earth, there could be no life. 

If all the four-legged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life. 

If all the winged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life. 

If all that crawl and swim and live within the earth were taken away, there could be no life. 

But if all the human beings were taken away, life on earth would flourish.  That is how insignificant we are".

 

Oglala Lakota Nation

 

However, humans are the only form of life that consciously  praise and honor the Creator.  That makes us the most significant life on earth.

The 1st 4 points are very good points and not all Native Americans do not believe the 5th point too. Some of my Native American ancestors were known as being Christians.

True Cristians Glen ?  Did you ever recall seeing this article about Sister Roxanne Two Bulls and Little White Man, 

and their contributions to providing hope and comfort and helping others in translating their endangered language with the Lakotas, on JW.ORG ?

 

Here’s an interesting article published in the West Eagle River , and Native Sun News , last year.

You and I cannot not judge who were true Christians or not especially when wheats and weeds were  growing together? Also, we dealing with 1 tribe too. Many tribes have different beliefs. Now days I step back and listen to one religious beliefs because they might not know what their religious beliefs are.  Does this rings a bell to you? Because many misunderstands our beliefs too.
