Native Ten Commandments

Treat the Earth and all that dwell thereon with respect

Remain close to the Great Spirit

Show great respect for your fellow beings

Work together for the benefit of all Mankind

Give assistance and kindness wherever needed

Do what you know to be right

Look after the well being of mind and body

Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good

Be truthful and honest at all times

Take full responsibility for your actions

Let us greet the dawn of a new day
when all can live as one with nature
and peace reigns everywhere
Oh Great Spirit, bring to our brothers
the wisdom of Nature and the knowledge
that if her laws are obeyed
this land will again flourish
and grasses and trees will grow as before
Guide those that through their councils
seek to spread the wisdom of their leaders to all people
Heal the raw wounds of the earth
and restore to our soul the richness
which strengthens men's bodies
and makes them wise in their councils
Bring to all the knowledge that great cities
live only through the bounty
of the good earth beyond their paved streets
and towers of stone and steel

~ Ten Commandments version 1

The Earth is our Mother; care for Her Honor all your relations

Open your heart and soul to the Great Spirit

All life is sacred; treat all beings with respect

Take from the Earth what is needed and nothing more

Do what needs to be done for the good of all

Give constant thanks to the Great Spirit for each day

Speak the truth but only for the good in others

Follow the rhythms of Nature

Enjoy life's journey; but leave no tracks

~Ten commandments Version 2

Treat the earth an all that dwell thereon with respect

Remain close to the Great Spirit

Show great respect for your fellow beings

Work together for the benefit of all humankind

Give assistance and kindness wherever needed

Do what you know to be right

Look after the well-being of mind and body

Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good

Be truthful and honest at all times

Take full responsibility for your actions
