The Ten Red Indians Commandments.

Treat the earth and all that dwell thereon with respect,
Remain close to the great spirit,
Show great respect for you fellow beings,
Work together for the benifit of all mankind,
Give assistance and kindness wherever needed,
Do what you know is right,
Look after the wellbeing of mind and body,
Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good,
Be truthfull and honest at all times,
Take full responsibility for your actions.

The famous Red indian chiefs were as follows :-

Sitting Bulll Hunkpapa Sioux leader
Geronimo Apache Chief
Rain on the face Hunkpapa Sioux
Two moons Cheyenne Chief
Chief Joseph
Red Cloud
High Horse Sioux Chief

These words were written sometime in the 1800’s.

These words were found on an old picture belonging to my husband, these Red indian chiefs did not care what race or what beliefs were held by anyone, they showed respect for all mankind and the planet which they all occupied..

What a lovely view of this world they had.

To be honest as humans should we not being doing this anyway, we all breath the same air into our lungs and we should all cherish this earth and all its resorces, and all its humans and all creatures, and makes sure it remains for all who follow after us.

The Ten Red Indian Commandments

    Appreciate the fact that you passionately pursue the truth – and every truth needs to be heard. Our younger generations and theirs to follow…..

    Why dont you post it like as a caption to some really rustic – rich image of the outdoors…. and sell it as a Greeting Card or even a TShirt thing… whatever works…..

    I want to thank you for favoriting my work, and also, after reading this piece, makes me glad that I uploaded it, eventhough it is very simple. I just wanted to grasp the feeling they must have had. What you have posted here is why the part of me that is Native American, among other ethnicities, makes me aware of what might have been if we all had been of this philosophy.

  • dawndavies

    dawndavies in reply to Carliss Mora’s comment, 6 months ago

    i believe that also, they did not care what race you were or what you beleived in just treated everyone as humans as we shuld be doing now and just looking after the planet along with its creatures too, so glad that you like it, Dawn

    The Native American Indians had wisdom…...we should have listened. Wonderful Dawn….if you could tell me where you saw that these chiefs wrote it I would be very happy. I have searched every NA site and some heritage sites and they dont know for sure. It seems correct that Chief Joseph would have had something to do with these wonderful commandments though.
