Ancient cultures of the world have spiritual beliefs and connections with the earth. The stories that each culture has to offer, often tell us of how we have come from the earth- "Our Mother". The Native American people of the Southwest believe that our "Mother Earth" is the source of all life. When we observe nature we are learning from the greatest teacher. She is to be honored, and to honor the inter connectedness of all is to show our "Mother" respect.



The Native Americans come from ancient spirituality. "Vowing to Walk the Red Road," is respecting the Creator or the "Great Spirit". It is said that the Native American is not capable of moving forward without the "Great Spirit". To be a Native American coexists with being spiritual. The gift of spirituality is the gift from the "Great One". The Native Americans know that spiritual values have been the guide for their ancestors for generations. Fulfillment of one's purpose or one's destiny is acting with dignity. It is believed when asking for guidance, the "Great Spirit" answers. When the sacred voice of "Great Spirit" speaks, it is listened to with great respect.

The Native Americans are guided because of this relationship with the "Mother and Great Spirit". Trust and respect accompany every step of their purposeful lives. Their practice is that of simplicity. If it be humbly listening to the "Great Spirit's" voice in the wind to allow guidance by ancient knowledge, or to take a daily inventory of strengths and weaknesses so they can be whom the "Creator" gifted them to be- The Native American are connected spiritually.
