Trouble no one about their religion,
Respect others in their views, and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, and beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.
Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a strange..
Show respect to all people and bow to no one.
-Tecumseh, Shawnee



The Circle has healing power.
In the Circle, we are all equal.
When in the Circle, no one is in front of you.
No one is behind you. No one is above you.
No one is below you.
The Sacred Circle is designed to create unity.
The Hoop of Life is also a circle.
On this hoop there is a place for every species, every race, every tree and every plant.
It is this completeness of Life that must be respected in order to bring about health on this planet.
-Dave Chief, Oglala Lakota.



We so often feel powerless to do anything about the many problems in the world around us. We  are so often left to wonder whether one person can possibly make a difference. Mother Teresa said yes we can. Her life was resounding proof that it is possible.
