Many Native American organizations and communities have adopted the Seven
Guiding Principles, in one form or another, as a moral stepping stone and cultural foundation. Tracing the origin of the Seven Sacred Teachings back to the earliest memory of tribal history, each community has adapted the teachings to suit their community values. Despite where the teachings may have originated, they share the same concepts of abiding by moral respect for all living things.
