Elder's Meditation of the Day - August 13
"A bit of sunshine, a drop of rain, a puff of life from the
Great Spirit as He gently breathed upon that spot, created
the Native Americans. They were well formed and agile,
copper colored and proud"
--Harriett Starleaf Gumbs, SHINNECOCK
We are made in the image of the Great Spirit. A long time ago He breathed life
into our ancestors. He made the Indian strong. He created a warrior. Our ancestors
created more warriors. We have been tested throughout the seasons and we are still
here, stronger than ever. It is good to be Indian. We are proud of ourselves and our
ancestors. Mostly, we are proud the Great Spirit has never forsaken us, and continues
to guide us.
My Creator, let me live my life today in a way that would make my ancestors proud. Let
me remember, each month, that I am here to serve You. Today let me conduct my life in a
way that would also make you proud.
