Day, thanks a lot for sharing this...I like the way this "commandments" are presented, withoud any DO NOT's on the begining. I've been raised as an christian, but I could never, with an exception of a few commandments, accept the DO NOT's stated there. It's not about a lack of respect, but I just can't accept any "commandments" told in such manner. Why any commandments at all? I don't see the neccesity of any.

Simple, we're all a part of our creator, he's our all father. Why should a father forbid something to his children ??? There're so many other ways to explain your children what our lives are about, and I find the ten indian "commandments" the closest to the ultimate truth...the truth about our real purpose of being present here and now on our lovely mother earth.

with and respect
