- In Native American culture, stories
were passed down from generation to generation. The role of Grandparents
and Elders were to tell the stories to the younger members of the tribe.
These stories contained lessons to learn and the story of others who have
gone on. They also had "proverbs" and poetry they shared. I would like
to share with you stories, proverbs, and poetry I have collected. Each
one contains something to learn, an insight into their culture and spirituality,
and most of all gives us an understanding of a race of people who were
(and still are) a proud people who have strong beliefs in their people,
the Earth, and the Creator.
In order to learn of their spirituality, I feel it is important to understand what life meant to them and I think you will find some of that in what you will read. Please allow time for the pages to load as some of them contain wav files of Native American music.
and prepare to hear the words and stories of the Elders.
