It is said that the Anishinaabeg — the Ojibwe, Odowa and Potawatome — came to earth born of the fifth element, the breath of the great spirit itself. Known as the “the good people”, theirs is a path that extends the clarity of vision to others simply through the walking of it themselves. Here, then, are the Seven Teachings of the Anishinaabe.
Honesty
To achieve honesty within yourself,
To recognize who and what you are ,
Do this and you can be honest with all others.
Humility
Humble yourself and recognize that
No matter how much you think you know,
You know very little of all the universe.
Truth
To learn truth,
To live with truth, and
To walk with truth,
To speak truth.
Wisdom
To have wisdom is to know the difference between good and bad, and
To know the result of your actions.
Love
Unconditional love to know that when people are weak
They need your love the most,
That your love is given freely, and
You cannot put conditions on it
Or your love is not true.
Respect
Respect others, their beliefs, and
Respect yourself.
If you cannot show respect,
You cannot expect respect to be given.
Bravery
To be brave is to do something right,
Even if you know it’s going to hurt you.
