Fools Crow, LAKOTAWisdom From The Ancestors
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.
