Product Description
SAYINGS OF TIME-HONORED TRUTH AND CONTEMPORARY WISDOM FROM THE NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES
Why will you take by force what you may obtain by love?
We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.
He who serves his fellows is the greatest of all.
If a man is as wise as a serpent, he can be as gentle as a dove.
The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves.
A sin against a neighbor is an offense against the Great Spirit.
Ingram
Drawn from copious research and correspondence with Native American leaders and other tribal sources, these time-honored truths represent the collected experience and wisdom of a culture and offer a universal message to all.

A thoughtful collection of Native American proverbs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Soul Would Have No Rainbow if the Eyes Had No Tears and Other Native American PR (Paperback)
A thoughtful collection of Native American proverbs that gives pause to consider the meanings of life and important values. We can learn much from these old proverbs. It is interesting how some of them have similar counterparts in other cultures and ethnic groups, including the white man's! For example, "It takes a whole village to raise a child." Where have we heard this recently? Where did it actually originate? Who knows, but there is a similar Native American proverb in this interesting book. Each has the tribe of origin listed below it. A wonderful springboard for discussion and thought, and basis for research on the Internet on Native Americans. Use selected proverbs in my teaching.

Compact Bits of Wisdom ...,
By Mike M "Mike M" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Soul Would Have No Rainbow if the Eyes Had No Tears and Other Native American PR (Paperback)
The beautiful thing about this book (other than the title), is each little proverb is very short and easy to read. Each message is simply stated and followed by the name of the Native American nation it came from. I found it to be warm, visual and thought provoking in its emphasis of high values, spirituality and natural connections. This is a true gem that should be shared with all family members and friends.
