Native American quotes on life
There's lots
of talk these days in what makes a good leader. Sometimes I'm wondering
as we fully realize on this country what a good leader is. Or, more to
the point, do our very own leaders know?
Here are a few Native American teachings about leadership.
A pacesetter:
•
is the poorest man inside the tribe because when the old and orphaned
are without, the primary gives from his or her own stores to manage
them.
• has compassion and looks out for that well-being of others.
• takes responsibility and admits mistakes.
• hears the counsel of ladies so that you can use a balanced viewpoint.
• prizes peace above all else.
A spiritual leader can contact the animal nations and weather for that protection of those.
Generally
in most indigenous societies there are no wealthy classes or poor
classes, no homeless. Everyone had the things they needed, was equal and
was free.
The very first Europeans who stumbled on the
newest World sent news to Europe in the 16th-18th centuries that the
"savages" embraced equality! That news had been a catalyst for that
interest in democracy in Europe to exchange the ruling classes and the
abject poverty of the peasants.
Legend of the Peacemaker
The first recorded great Native American leader was "the Peacemaker."
One
thousand in years past, 5 tribes in the northeastern U.S. [the Mohawks,
Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga and Cayugas ] were constantly at war.
1
day a man arrived at a white stone canoe from across Onondaga Lake to
instruct Peace as well as an end to violence, saying "Peace may be the
wish of the Holder with the Heavens."
He traveled among the tribes for upwards of 40 years and, eventually, each person and village accepted his teaching.
He
gave instructions to create a government depending on equality, freedom
of speech and religion, dignity and harmony. This took over as Great
Law of Peace, and the five tribes collectively became known as the
Haudenosaunee, meaning People with the Long House.
Native American quotes on life
A bit known historical simple truth is the United states of america Constitution is founded on the truly amazing Law of Peace.
This
man is recognized as this type of great leader, therefore sacred, that
his name isn't spoken. He is known only since the Peacemaker.
