We can only be what we give ourselves the power to be!
~Cherokee Feast of Days~
"The first peace, which is the most important,
is that which comes within the souls of people
when they realize their relationship, their
oneness with the universe and all its powers,
and when they realize that at the center of the
universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this
center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."
Black Elk
...You have stories to tell and that is what will keep the memory
of a great people alive. Pass the stories to your children. Teach
them who, where and what their people were. Take time to search
your ancestry. Remember the past they took and have patience.
Stay in tune with your feelings and be strong in your search.
Trace your walk, feel satisfaction in knowing the end of the
rainbow you have looked for can be found at the toe of your
moccasin after realizing who we are and what we have.
John "Eagle Spirit" Campbell. Chief,

"You have noticed that everything an Indian does in a circle,
and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles,
and everything and everything tries to be round.
In the old days all our power came to us from the sacred hoop
of the nation and so long as the hoop was unbroken the people
flourished. The flowering tree was the living center of the hoop,
and the circle of the four quarters nourished it. The east gave peace
and light, the south gave warmth, the west gave rain and the north
with its cold and mighty wind gave strength and endurance. This
knowledge came to us from the outer world with our religion.
Everything the power of the world does is done in a circle.
The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our teepees were round like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation's hoop, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to hatch our children."
Black Elk, Oglala Sioux 1863-1950
American Indian Prayer
Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds,
and whose breath gives life to all the world - hear
me. I come before you, one of your children. I am
small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold
the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect
the things you have made, my ears sharp to hear
your voice. Make me wise, so that I may know the
things you have taught my people, the lesson you
have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek strength
not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to
fight my greatest enemy, *MYSELF*. Make me ever
ready to come to you, with clean hands and straight
eyes, so when life fades as a fading sunset, my spirit
may come to you without shame.

Cherokee Prayer Blessing
May the warm winds of heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your mocassins
Make happy tracks
In many snows,
And may the rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.
