Native American OUTREACH PROGRAM
"Domestic Abuse and Sexual Assault/Abuse Is Not A Native American Tradition"
Teachings
"We must honor our women, our grandmothers, our wives and our sisters, and all the others."
"We must keep our promises and uphold our pledges. If we undertake to do something for another, we must fulfill our work by deed - otherwise we are false. If we receive a vision we are untrue. Without truth to self and to others there is not trust."
"We are to be kind to everyone. Children listening to their parents; that is kindness. A medicine man or woman healing the sick; that is kindness. A woman feeding a stranger; that is kindness. A man sheltering a stranger; that is kindness. Do something for your people. Use your gifts and your dreams for good."
