Teachings
of the Sacred Inipi Sweat Lodge ceremonies
Everyone
has not only the right to think for themselves but an obligation
to do so.
This is the natural way. We offer no guru's, no catechism to
memorize. One must learn to respond to nature with a sincere
sense of personal responsibility and let Spirit teach through
observation and circumstance. We must walk softly with respect
for Earth Mother and all our relation.
Our
mission as Pan American Indians is to celebrate, preserve, support,
and enrich the cultural heritage of all peoples, but particularly
that culture of Turtle Island.
While rejoicing in the differences of the ethnic cultures that
belong to Turtle Island. We also affirm and proclaim the Equality
of All who share this place, to learn and follow the Spiritual
Path that touches their Hearts. Who are citizens of this Republic
of the United States of America.
We
affirm the right and obligation of each citizen to learn, grow
and shoulder no more and no less than a fair share of the responsibilities
of life here.
We
affirm each citizens right and obligation to work, vote and
to share in the Blessings which the Creator has provided here.
We
affirm the Sacred responsibility each one has not to harm none,
our Earth Mother, our Nation. We are to celebrate and protect
what the creator blessed upon us.
