Native Americans and their value system cannot be broken apart from their spirituality, for they are the foundation of the Native American culture.\u00a0 Each tribe may practice a ritual or ceremony differently but the core values remain the same.<\/p>\n

The Native American culture\u00a0values have not changed since antiquity and are practiced readily today.\u00a0 It has been and will remain so, the Native American way of being.\u00a0 “Native American isn\u2019t blood; it is what is in the heart. It is the love for the land, the respect for it and for those who inhabit it. It is the respect and acknowledgement of the spirits and the elders. That is what it is to be Indian.”<\/i>White Feather, Navajo Medicine Man.<\/p>\n

\"Mother<\/a>Conservation<\/b> is not a new aspect of the Native American way of being.\u00a0 Native American\u2019s have always believed in the need to protect Mother Earth and to use her resources wisely.\u00a0 Respect dictates that one should take only what one needs.\u00a0 \u00a0Native American culture values attributes of generosity and sharing, and frowns upon excessive material accumulation and consumption.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Crone<\/a>This ancient culture also prizes its elderly.\u00a0 Community elders provide the tribe with advice and guidance gathered from a lifetime of experience.\u00a0 Native elders are expected to keep the culture alive by passing down their wisdom and ancient ways of being to the young.\u00a0 This phase of life is admired and respected, because with age comes wisdom. \u00a0Like the Wiccan practice of honoring the maiden, mother and crone, all stages of our human development are highly regarded within Native American communities.<\/p>\n

\"Celtic<\/a>The practice of daily gratitude is another Native American value.\u00a0 Giving thanks to the Great Spirit for all he has provided keeps one present minded and focused on all that is good.\u00a0 Often when one doesn\u2019t take the time to be grateful, the everyday blessings are overlooked.<\/p>\n

One of the most important Native American value is respect.\u00a0 It is believed that all of life is sacred: the mountains, lakes, plants, animals, and people.\u00a0 Each has something to teach and all things have a purpose.\u00a0 No person is above another, everyone is equal.\u00a0 To show respect, Native cultures teach that respect should be giving and shown for all beliefs and religions.\u00a0 Show respect for other people by never interrupting a conversation or intruding into a one\u2019s personal space. Never speak negatively about others and listen respectfully to what others are saying even if you do not agree.\u00a0 Be truthful in conversations with others and with the self.<\/p>\n

Native American values and cultures\u00a0believe that everything and everyone is connected.\u00a0 What we do to others and to the planet we do to ourselves.\u00a0 Practicing love, honor, gratitude and respect daily will unify us with the planet, its creatures and the Great Spirit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
