Native spirituality

@fennellcheryl on instagram 

Tell me about native spirituality I asked

It’s all about living in harmony with each other, animals and plants and the natural world 

We are all one family

Here, we grow spiritually by being kind, serving others and working for peace and unity 

In the other worlds of God we continue to grow 

Life and death are on the same continuum 

The spirit is constant in both

We need to thank the creator for his bounties

We need to keep our oceans and rivers clean

We need to hunt sustainably 

And we need to heal from the wrongs done to us in the past

Art can play an important role in this healing

Art can bring people together and increase understanding 

Art can build a bridge between cultures

These are all aspects of living spiritually

The vision quest

The vision quest

I’ve only read about them

Going into the wilderness alone

Communing with nature

Listening to the voice of the ancestors

Contemplating one’s place in life

The vision quest

A right of passage

The gate to maturity and responsibility 

Seeking one’s animal guide

The vision quest

Reaching out to the Great Spirit

Asking questions

Listening attentively for answers

The vision quest
