Our 7 Ojibway Teachings: 

Seen Thedog .........my father taught my sister and I these 7 teachings. Whenever we went camping he would cleanse himself with the smoke. I am Ojibway and proud. I am 68.

Maybe only your understanding of these seeds has begun to sprout. It sounds as if you've lived by these teachings, either conciously or otherwise, for most of your life. That is a truly beautiful thing, and I'm so very happy for you to have that sort of guidance in your life. Peace be with you, and may life shine blessings upon you for all your days.

@@seecanon5840 smudging? cool

Same last name would have been Hole in the day if it wasnt shortened to Day, Love my culture

This makes me cry happiness as a mother to a teenager. I hope to plant seeds like this.

That's why so many people feel so empty... I think this should be taught EVERYWHERE

All Americans should be forced to learn this

Canadians and American ​@riseuplight

I agree , in the 80’s we learned many anishnabe things . The first song we sang was Annie couhouni , and the first instrument was the flute and they told us it was a native instrument . We was sitting in a cercle . All the teaching was based on native ways. My school was on the ancestral territory of kitigan zibi . It is still an anishnabe territory because it was unceded . I was raised of reserve but beside the river where our ancestors lived before the government created those reserves. My dad never liked the idea of reserves because at first it was like a jail . But I have family on my mom side and my dad side who are on reserve .

It is for the Elders and Parents to teach the children while they are young and capible of learning.

I’m native and I’m teaching my children all I am learning myself from spirit. I wish I knew my tribal heritage tho. I’m white earth reservation member but live far and no nobody from my “family”. I am learning all free m spirit and RU-vid only.

Mandy Ice they are coming. You all have brought me here.

Younger generation here, connecting with my past and trying to carry it forward to the next. KBIC Ojibwe.

In today’s world, this teaching is critically needed!

So sad to see it not being shared today.

*This is the Way.*

Chi-miigwetch. The seven fire prophecy says all man can benefit from the ways, not just the Indian or those with brown skin.

Am half filipino and these teachings are amzing.

It's RepubliCONs and Capitalism that Block this

The answer who you are is inside your heart, a cosmic code which is memorised there. You only need to read it and be happy with yourself, whatever you do and wherever you go, just feel happy inside your heart.

Sometimes you must go all the way to the bottom to find the truth of your being here. As westerners we are trained to ignore our heart to submit to society's twisted ways. This training is difficult to shed, and the teaching of humility brings us to a place where we can accept That Which is Greater Than Ourselves, and it becomes clear how we are to serve That.

I spent much of my life trying to find this thing, and feeling that I was wasting my time. Things began to turn around for when I made a decision with my whole heart, that I was really going to look for love, and not care about about society or how I was percieved. From this, I believe, i met a person who became my teacher, and who embodied the qualities of honesty and truth. This person helped my find my gift, and supported me while I grew it. So maybe you can get help, like I did. For me it began with a commitment in my heart to truth and reality over what I thought other people wanted to see from me. Listen to your heart.

I wept at that teaching...even though I honour it every morning...I finally understood

Listen to your eagle. Learn to listen from your heart. Get out of your mind.

+Tala Tootoosis yes

Wisdom, love, respect, honesty, humility, and truth are allowed to everyone. And I believe if more people are practicing this (no matter what skin colour), the better will be LIFE. I know I am a dreamer. But this is one of my dreams. There are brainless people everywhere in the world and perhaps at the time more than is good for this earth. Be the change you want to see in the world. Every journey begins with a first step.

Not all of us whites are assholes....

well said plus it was our generations before us what did wrong

Wellbriety has been very powerful medicine for me....walking the red road - to heal to remember & 9.3 yrs clean

also i found out my great grandmother was Ojibwe

Louise Larivee my daughter just got her native name spiritcloud then another word after I can’t spell it🙂

@@lauraharding1369 Beautiful name

You're not chippewa, your ojibwe. Chippewa is a name we were given. Ojibwe is who we are. Welcome

@@CrypticRite my dad always taught me to say ‘Chippewa’ instead of ‘ojibwe’. That’s just how I was told to say it though

Most people do not no that unlike other peoples we have blood memory. Our ancestors sing in our blood you just have to remember how to listen to them. Get away from electric.

@@aaronspencer8800 Are you sure? "unlike other peoples"? I would be careful about trying to elevate yourselves over other humans. Be humble and kind. You can not insult my grandfather, he was a wise man and he had blood in his veins. Just because he had German blood you think he is inferior. You only speak for yourself. You represent nothing other than your own racist opinion. I have Jesus on my side, and the Holy Spirit. If you can not see humans as brethren, then you will perish. Your grandfather is no better than mind and your blood has no more memory than mine. But you are lacking. You are flawed... Stop insulting my grandfather please, you racist.

@@voidremoved are you high ? I never said anything about your grandfather. I said since we are on our home land and our culture goes back to before colonialism. Some of US indigenous peoples still have blood memory. And it may be the same for your grandfather in Germany. Idk I'm not from there I can only go off of my own experiences and the experiences of my ancestors. And I honestly don't care who gets butt hurt because I'm proud of who I am and where I come from. So go after your own people for destroying this place. We were here for hundreds of years and did less damage to the land then your people have in 10 . We are just waiting for you all to kill yourselfs out 😁🙋🏽‍♂️

@@voidremoved oh and FYI your God is female. That's why she sent the holy spirit to Mary to make a son because female can't breed with female 🙋🏽‍♂️a,ho

@@voidremovedIt's not "racist", it's biological reality. The reality to which behooves acknowledgement at least a mechanical understanding of the culture could be met.

Never too late, Great Spirit be with you

I noticed that the giants are waking.

@@green-eyedchild6689 They never sleep, but are constantly and vigilantly serving the Almighty, but we rarely see them, for it is we who are asleep. However, they are awakening to their new task, which is to hep men avert the disastrous consequences of their karma, namely the destruction of themselves and the earth. Blessed Be!

You are right to be concerned, but one last prophecy and legacy was left to men for their Salvation, the Holy Spirit Incarnate. Now His Star encircles the earth and releases all the karma of men, so under suffering they may awaken to their one true purpose, to serve the Almighty Father in the strictest humility and obedience. Let us pray for this success, for the existence of man and earth hangs by the tenderst of light threads, which we must strengthen by making our every breath and lives a prayer to the Great Spirit. So that when the Star materialises, we may greet it as a help, rather than the harbinger of doom and destruction, for our fate still lies in our hands...just!

Or Miigwetch? you can start with that instead of other languages that have no business with us LOL whatever floats your boat though i guess

Richard e Griffin I am ojiibwe to

AHO!

Richard e Griffin I am Ojibwe, well I am half and Mexican. My mom is Ojibwe and my dad is Mexican

...I am that I am...and I love you to..aho

So what you're one 16th? Like it is a matter of genetics alone. Colour etc does not make who you are in your heart. What your soul is is something beyond the body in the end, anyways. Just treasure that love inside of you, that you feel for all people and all beings. I have been wrestling much of my life with my genetic make-up. I'm Finnish, Ukrainian, French and Lakota.. Possibly many more things.. I have felt so often, due to history and due to my fathers attitude and people's shallow judgement based on appearence, like I was not allowed to feel that part of me that is Native American. Now I say, to heck with that! I am all of the above and spirit first and for-most. I love and try my best to be a good human being. And like that, I have found peace. I don't need anyones permission to feel what I feel or to be who I am except that of the great spirit that made me and all of us!. Much love to you

@@WazigeLogica that actually helped me a lot and gave me something to think about thank you

@@josefdettwyler9809 Great! God/ the Great spirit knows who you are.. It made you just the way you are, uniquely to be that exact thing/ beeing that you are. You are exactly where you need to be on your soul-path at this point in time, even if it doesn't seem so at the moment maybe. Each "mistake" we made was neccassary for our growth and developement, to become who we will be a long time from now. What you are fits perfectly into the great quilt of existance that he/ she envisioned and is for ever weaving. You are that unique thread/ patch of fabric that only you can be, uniquely in your position keeping everything together. Even when things seem to be falling apart, it's just a re-assembly on the whole. It loves all of our perfect imperfections, it made us that way for a reason. And it is perfect, in this way, we all are perfect even when we are not on the surface. Wish you well, Much love to you ngak :)

@@WazigeLogica I mean you either have it in your heart or you don't have it at all

@@josefdettwyler9809 so then, maybe its time to change your RU-vid name?? That's sum pretty offensive shit right there man. I don't go into the comment section for BLM videos with a name like "niggerjoe" hopefully some more stuff for you to think about. Respect was one of the teachings.

+TheSunshineSpot Awesome to hear :) about learning the old ways. Sorry for your loss, but so glad to hear he connected with you from the other side. I have experienced this many times with family and friends. Beautiful gift to experience it.

I am 25% blood of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa out of Belcourt, ND, an offshoot of the Ojibwe nations. I was never fortunate enough to truly learn from the teachings of my people, but I nonetheless feel a very strong connection to them. The native people of these lands were so very wise with their approach to living. I'm truly grateful and happy that these teachings are still being passed down. I commend any and all of the individuals still keeping these traditions alive.

dlm9293 hey man where you from ? I’m from that reservation. All of my people are from there. I am an enrolled member. It’s crazy to find someone from our small reservation on the RU-vid comments. Boozhoo my brother.
