The Ten native American Commandments

5. Give

6. Do

7. Look

These commandments are a list of moral codes that ALL Native Americans must follow. I think these commandments are very important since they were the reason for Indians to be so respectful to not only the land but also to their fellow Native Americans. I feel that if their moral codes were like this at the time that we stole their land land than we were definitely in the wrong. Since they promote peace and love. I also think that it is not right how we treat the Native Americans for example the North Dakota access pipe line where the pipe would run through sacred land and not only that but the police would use excessive force towards the protesters. Native Americans were good people who wanted their people to be the best. They had so much respect not only for themselves but for everything and everyone. Native Americans are good people who we should try to model everyday no matter what. No matter all they were put through they still chose the right.
