Have you ever thought about the belief systems of Native Americans, or the religions they practiced in comparison with those of mainstream American society in the year 2021?

According to Britannica.com, Native American tribal members learned about and at times abided by several different distinct and varied religions and doctrines, many of which did not survive to the present.

Others have been preserved over time, along with hundreds of years of wisdom that have been passed down from generation to generation.

According to the same encyclopedia’s website, Native American people themselves often claim that their traditional ways of life do not actually include “religion,” describing it as difficult to translate into their own languages.

Religion is understood as the relationship between living humans and other persons or things, however they are conceived, and views most entities as “spiritual” in nature with traditions seeming to view them only as “sacred” and “more sacred.”

This reverence for all forms of life and the interconnectedness of all things, including entities from beyond the physical realm, helped to preserve the natives’ remarkable stewardship of nature, as well as the natural sanctity of their societies and environments.

In short, if you’re looking for information and belief systems that foster better connectivity to nature and a more thoughtful, intentional existence that takes nature’s role in our lives into account, you should look no further than Native American wisdom and proverbs.

The following are ten Native American proverbs that just might change your viewpoint on certain things, along with a video that contains additional proverbs for your viewing and reciting pleasure.
