READ BELOW Marion Cooney posted in Navajos at Hweeldi Marion Cooney 4:39am May 20 Elder's Meditation of the Day May 20 "...the sacred ceremonies given to us by the Creator are the Heart of our existence. These ceremonies are our first duty." --Traditional Circle of Elders. NORTHERN CHEYENNE Hidden in the ceremonies are many truths, many principles, many guidelines for living, our access to the Unseen World, healing and visions. Because the Indian People didn't have schools or books, the Great Spirit gave us Ceremonies. The ceremonies are handed down from generation to generation to learn their meaning. Today, many Indian People live in cities or urban areas where it's hard to learn the ceremonies. We need to go to the Elders and learn the ceremonies so we can pass them on to our children. Great Spirit, teach me the Secrets of the Ceremonies. View Post on Facebook · Edit Email Settings · Reply to this email to add a comment.
