If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution
By dancing the Round Dance continuously, the dream would become a reality and the participants would enjoy the new Earth
Ghost Dance
The Way of the Circle
When you first arise in the morning, give thanks to the Creator, to the four directions, to Mother Earth, to Father Sky, and to all of our relations, for the life within you and for all life around you
Remember that all things are connected
All things have purpose, everything has its place
Honor others by treating them with kindness and consideration
If you have more than you need for yourself and your family, consider performing a "giveaway" by distributing your possessions to others who are in need
You are bound by your word, which cannot be broken except by permission of those who the promise was given to
Seek harmony and balance in all things
It is always important to remember where you are in relation to everything else, and to contribute to the Circle in whatever way you can by being a "helper" and protector of life
Sharing is the best part of receiving
Practice silence and patience in all things as a reflection of self-control, endurance, dignity, reverence, and inner calm
Practice modesty in all things, by avoiding boasting and loud behavior that attracts attention to yourself
Know the things that contribute to your well-being, and those things that lead to your destruction
Always ask permission, and give something for everything that is received, including giving thanks for, and honoring all living things
Be aware of what is around you, what is inside of you, and always show respect
Treat every person from the tiniest child to the oldest elder with respect
Do not stare at others; drop your eyes as a sign of respect, especially in the presence of Elders, teachers, or other honored persons
Always give a sign of greeting when passing a friend or stranger
Never criticize or talk about someone in a harmful, negative way
Never touch something that belongs to someone else without permission
Respect the privacy of every person, making sure to never intrude upon someone's quiet moments or personal space
Never interfere in the affairs of another by asking questions or offering advice
Never interrupt others
In another persons home, follow his or her customs rather than your own
Treat with respect all things held sacred to others whether you understand these things or not
Treat Earth as your mother; give to her, protect her, honor her; show deep respect for those in the animal world, plant world, and mineral world
Listen to guidance offered by all of your surroundings; expect this guidance to come in the form of prayer, dreams, quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders, and friends
Listen with your heart
Learn from your experiences, and always be open to new ones
Always remember that a smile is something sacred, to be shared
Live each day as it comes
