The essence of Native American culture is spirituality; the characteristics and customs of tribes such as The Sioux, Comanche, Apache, Cherokee, Seminole, Navajo and others might have differed but all tribes shared a sacred connection. The belief that our planet "Mother Earth" is a sentient presence and in the ubiquitous spirits of our Ancestors guiding us on a path of harmonious, ethical and honorable existence is intoned in all tribes prayers and legends. These quotes and prayers we have highlighted bear testimony to the spirituality endemic within these tribes and their struggle to exist in peace with nature in an ever evolving world
