Native American Wisdom Quotes on Life,Spirit and Earth

Native American Wisdom Quotes


There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom
traveled,which leads to an unkown, secret place.
The old people came literally to love the soil,
and they sat or reclined on the ground with a feeling
of being close to a mothering power.

Their teepees were built upon the earth
and their altars were made of earth.
The soul was soothing, strengthening, cleansing and healing.
That is why the old Indian still sits upon the earth instead
of propping himself up and away from its life giving forces.
For him, to sit or lie upon the ground is to be able to think more
deeply and to feel more keenly. He can see more clearly into
the mysteries of life and come closer in kinship to other lives
about him.
Chief Luther Standing Bear


Native American Wisdom Quotes
And while I stood there
I saw more than I can tell,
and I understood more than I saw;
for I was seeing in a sacred manner
the shapes of things in the spirit,
and the shape of all shapes as they must
live together like one being.
Black Elk, Black Elk Speaks
