Tecumseh-Native American Words of Wisdom
So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. Chief Tecumseh (Crouching Tiger) Shawnee Nation 1768-1813 5 comments from 3 users

Your comment does highlight the commonalities of the world's religions. Too bad more people don't realize this.

I am sure thats it..lol.. the Jesus thing is related to the Mormons..they believe jesus came here to "save" the natives..and time lines have never bothered the religious.

perhaps it's a characteristic inherent to humans? Remember that the Native Americans occupied this land long before the life of Jesus and their traditions have been past down spanning that time.

When you read the words of many indigenous people one could almost believe Jesus did visit America,the themes are strikingly similar
