7 Grandfather Teachings
The traditional concepts of respect and sharing that form the foundation of the Native American way of life are built around the seven natural laws, or sacred teachings. Each teaching honors one of the basic virtues intrinsic to a full and healthy life.
Each law is embodied by an animal to underscore the point that all actions and decisions made by man are manifest on a physical plain. The animal world taught man how to live close to the earth, and the connection that has been established between the animal world and that of man has instilled a respect for all life in those who follow the traditional way.

- The Buffalo teaches us RESPECT. Respect is the condition of being honored.

HONORS POW WOW/CELEBRATING TRUTH - JUNE 4TH, 2024
The Turtle teaches us TRUTH.
Truth is to know and understand all the seven teachings that have been given to us by the Creator and to remain faithful to them.
Knowing and Understanding all the Original laws as given by the Creator and staying true to them, is to know TRUTH. It is said that in the beginning, when the Creator made man and gave him the seven sacred laws, the Grandmother Turtle was present to ensure that the laws would never be lost or forgotten. On the back of a turtle there are the 13 moons, each representing the truth of one cycle of the Earth’s rotation around the sun. The 28 markings on her back represent the cycle of the moon.
