Sad to say but being Native American and not knowing how your people lived and survived day to day is how I grew up. Now I live to learn and perfect those skills and abilities and pass them on to my children and any who wish to learn.

The Two Wolves We Feed
The Two Wolves
"One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
benevolence, generosity, empathy, truth, compassion and faith.”
The grandson thought about this for a minute and then asked the grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
