Elder's Meditation of the Day - November 10

 

 

"The battle for Indian children will be
won in the classroom, not on the
streets or on horses. The students of
today are our warriors of tomorrow."

 

 

Wilma P. Mankiller, CHEROKEE

 

 

The world is constantly changing. One of
the strengths of Indian people has been
our adaptability. In today's world,
education is what we need to survive.
We need doctors, lawyers, teachers,
scientists. We can become these things
and still live in a cultural way. We need
to live in two worlds; the educated world
and the Indian cultural world. Education
will help protect our land, our people's
health, and provide knowledge for our people.
We must teach reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Also, we must teach the language, the culture,
the ceremony, and the tradition of our people.

 

 

Creator, let me remember You are my teacher.

"Be good, be kind, help each other."
"Respect the ground, respect the drum, respect each other."

May The Creator walk with you.

 

 

 

 

May God Always Watch Over You
