Home The Pathfinder Native American Path

Native American Path

Native American spirituality, or indigenous spirituality is a set of spiritual beliefs practiced by many individuals, mostly indigenous peoples, from this continent. In North America this path is sometimes called the natural way and sometimes the red way and one who practices it is said to be “on the good, red road”. Although there is no one Native American way, because all the tribes’ religions are different in detail and practice, there are certain characteristics that run throughout most of the tribes’ precepts. Primarily there is a concern for the earth and all of its creation whether all the races, all the species and all of inanimate life. In other words, although they don’t worship the earth there is a concern for it and all its life forms: they honor the earth and all of creation equally. Man is considered only a small part of the larger cycles and in this sense they are like the oriental viewpoint. But distinct to the Native groups are the concept of responsibility for caretaking the rest of creation.
 
Although it used to be understood as a primitive religion now it considered a religion with many answers for contemporary society because it is based on unity: that is belief in the unity of all the races, the unity of all religions, the unity of all species, and the unity of the unified field, which includes the earth and all of creation. However, it also includes as a major tenet the idea of the multiplicity of creation and mankind’s small role in the totality of creation. The duality of life is recognized.

The Red Road has four Commandments:

  • Respect for the Great Spirit
  • Respect the Earth
  • Respect your Fellow Men and Women
  • Respect every man’s freedom (provided it does not interfere or threaten the tribe, the People or Mother Earth)

Native American Nations

Assmilation of Native Americans

The Native Americans

Native Americans (also Aboriginal Peoples, Aboriginal Americans, American Indians, Amerindians, Amerind, Indians, First Nations, First Peoples, Native Canadians, or Indigenous Peoples of America) are those peoples indigenous to the Americas, living there prior to European colonization. This term encompasses a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of them still enduring as political communities.

The terms "Amerindian" and "Indian", both of which are derivatives of "American Indian" (as is "Amerind", though this term is more popular in linguistic circles), are not necessarily completely synonymous with "Native American". Although all Amerindians are Native Americans, not all Native Americans are Amerindians.

To Walk The Red Road

Spirit of the Red Road

~To Walk The Red Road~

Long road winding began in the stars, spilled onto the mountain tops, was carried in the snow to the streams, to the rivers, to the ocean....It covers Canada, Alaska, America, Mexico to Guatemala, and keeps winding around the indigenous. The Red Road is a circle of people standing hand in hand, people in this world, people between people in the Spirit world. Star people, animal people, stone people, river people, tree people.... The Sacred Hoop.

To walk the Red Road is to know sacrifice, suffering. It is to understand humility.

Walking the Red Road

Fire Spirit

Walking the Red Road

The Creator has given the First Nations people their own way to stay in their health and become all that they can be. This way assures all the best in life and the capacity to make dreams come true. This path has been termed The Red Road. It is said that the Red Road is the path to the inner self. This is true, because inside all human beings lies the Red Road. The Red Road, like the three Principles, mind, consciousness and thought are a way to walk in life. This path is a road, not a physical road but a mental one.
