Minaadendamowin—Respect

Minaadendamowin—Respect

From the Native American Anishinaabe's Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers. Each of the teachings is shown in the wheel above. 

"To honor all creation is to have Respect."

"All of creation should be treated with respect."

"You must give respect if you wish to be respected."

The Anishinaabe people once dominated the Great Lakes region of North America, undisturbed by European settlers until the early 1600s. Their sub-groups include: Algonquin, Nipissing, Mississaugas, Potawatomi, Odawa, Ojibwe-Chippewa, Salteaux-Chippewa, Oji-Cree. Quotes taken from Ojibwe Resources and a well-sourced Wikipedia entry, "Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers."
