Elder's Meditation of the Day - February 20 | |
"When a community does something together, that
community is very happy, jovial, connected and unified."
| -- Larry P. Aitken, CHIPPEWA |
The Indian People have always been able to adapt. If the hunting changed,
we found new hunting grounds. If the Earth changed, we moved to a better
place. If the river changed course, we followed the river. But with every change,
we kept our Indianness and spirituality. Our culture and spirituality have always
been our strength. Our culture and spirituality taught us to live in harmony. We
must change with the times, but we must maintain our culture and spirituality,
always living in harmony.

Great Spirit, You have taught us to survive. Let me always maintain my Indianness.
