Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Native American Proverbs

All Native American proverbs honor the greater good
She is....
A society that reveres her elders
A tribe that honors the ideas of children
A community that recognizes the wisdom of her women
Tell me again why we are trying to indoctrinate her with our religions?

Gershon Wolf January 22, 2022 at 6:02 PM OH, is that ever a great question, Caren. Here's a possible answer: Could it be, could it just be, that most religions are male-governed?! lol. ~ gw

John Lawless January 21, 2022 at 12:06 PM as with all "pagans" they had too many "gods'' Caren Krutsinger January 22, 2022 at 7:29 AM Not for me John. Not for me.

Sam Kauffman January 21, 2022 at 10:23 AM Good question Caren. Nicely written. Caren Krutsinger January 22, 2022 at 7:30 AM Thank you Sam.

L Milton Hankins January 21, 2022 at 10:14 AM Well-said, my friend. I have often wondered the same thing, and why do we persist in mistreating them? Have you seen the film "At Play in the Fields of the Lord?" You'd really enjoy it, if you have the opportunity. It's from several years back, but always relevant.

DM Babbit January 21, 2022 at 10:04 AM Nice touch, if you have a chance read Luci St. Clair Robson's - Walk in My Soul on a native American Woman. Caren Krutsinger January 22, 2022 at 7:30 AM I will! Thank you!
