GREAT MYSTERY'S WISDOM
by
Tankasila
Listen my People to a story of long long ago
When the Great Mystery first set the world all aglow
The rivers ran swift where they became one
Animals talked, Man's Sacred Circle had begun
The four winds caressed Mother Earth's brow
Old Ones were taught of the Sacred White Cow
The great Eagle was strength in those bygone days
The Wolf taught them wisdom to learn Natures ways
Buffalo were many and they knew not of hunger
There were no boundaries for them to encumber
Father Sun gave his loving warmth to the land
A place for all Nations, a place they can stand
Grandfather, Great Spirit, hear my feeble voice
The hand Fate has dealt us is not always choice
Many seasons of wisdom did you always send
So a mighty Red Nation could survive till the end
Aho

Meditation of the day.
| "The greater the faith, the greater the result." |
| --Fools Crow, LAKOTA |
| The Creator designed us to act on faith. We are able to do this by holding firm to our beliefs. If we believe something and if we don't want the belief to change, we need to add the power of the Great Spirit to this belief. We must always have the spiritual added to our beliefs. If we don't add the Spirit, then we may very well change our minds during the first time we are tested. Each time we are tested and we don't change our minds, we get stronger.The wind may blow on the red willow trees bending them and causing the roots to grow deeper. The more the wind bends the tree, the bigger, stronger and deeper the roots grow. We should be happy that we are tested. It's the Creator's way of making us have greater faith for greater results.
Great Mystery, Grandfather, I know if I am tested today that I can count on You to give me the courage to get to the other side. On the other side of every test is the reward of strength. Make me strong |

North America Tree Type:
North America Tree Type:
Cultural Decorations:
The tree does not have lights on it.
The mirrors are to keep away bad spirits.
The corn, shells and other natural items are put on the tree.
The Chikala dolls were created in the 1700's and are unique because they have no faces.
The owners are expected to use imagination and provide a face for the doll. The small dolls are made by senior citizens of the South Dakota Sioux.
The Navajo created the larger dolls.
These dolls will bring good luck to their owners. The turkey feathers symbolize the eagle feathers which in turn symbolizes the connection between heaven and earth.
The cradle is made from birch bark and sweet grass and symbolizes the renewal of life each year.
The maize (Corn) which is wrapped with sweet grass represents the natural elements of the earth.
The canoe is handmade from birch bark and sweet grass. God's Eyes are, adapted from the Mexican Indians, made of wood and yarn and represent the four winds and the spiritual connections of life.
The Pueblo tribe of the southwest made these ornaments.
The God's Eyes were also considered to keep away the bad spirits. Legend states that dream catchers are placed over the bed.
The dream catcher will let all the good dreams pass through the web while all the bad dreams are caught in the web. One can tell when the bad dreams are caught for the web will be wet in the morning.
The white buffalo is a sacred animal to all Native Americans. Legend states that when a buffalo calf is born that is white, not an albino, and passes through the four colours of man the tribes will again rule their land and the buffalo will again number as the blades of grass.
The four colours of man are white for the white man, yellow for the yellow man, brown for the black man and red for the Native Americans. Traditions: Native Americans do not decorate a tree. After it is decorated, the museum tree is blessed in a ceremony that uses sage, sweet grass and tobacco leaves. Tabasco is thrown onto the tree while special prayers are offered for good luck

Dream on.
this poem is send to
me by a native
American epal.
Friends answer your needs before their own.
You come to them with your hunger,
And they satisfy you with peace.
That's how friends are.
Friends let you speak your mind,
Without worrying what their thoughts will be.
Friends know when you are silent,
They need to listen your heart.
Friends share the joy and the pain.
They know about desire and rejection.
Friends allow you to be who you are,
Without expectations of who you should be.
Friends don't come with a purpose,
They don't come with a plan.
They come to enlighten your spirit,
They come to brighten your heart.
They come to give you a hand when needed
And expect nothing in return.
It is the little things that friends do.
Like fill your heart with pleasure, hope and joy.
AAHH... The Sweetness Of Friendsip
There can be no price placed on Friendship
It has once been told.
For Friendships are worth far more than gold.
