In Addition to the 7 Sacred Anishinaabe Teachings for Divine Living Under Creator's Laws are the 7 Sacred Cree Teachings from North Turtle Island. These Teachings not only Accent but Complete the set of Indigenous Laws to Abide by to Ensure Everlasting Health and Peace upon Mother Earth and All Beings.
The Moccasins of Peace are a Sacred Symbol of Our Journey through Life, Embodying the Principles of Treading Lightly and Walking in Harmony with Mother Earth. Made from Natural Materials like Hide, they are more than just Footwear—they are a Reminder of the Balance We must strive to Maintain within the World around Us, Ensuring that each Step is taken with Mindfulness, Respect, and Reverence for all Living Beings and the Land beneath our Feet.
Moccasins Remind us to Leave Footprints that Impact Others in the Healthiest Way possible as we Navigate Our Way through Life. We Wear these Moccasins to Protect our Feet, as well as Mother Earth and its Ecosystems, Walking without Causing Harm or Destruction. Every Step taken in Moccasins is a Conscious Act of Peace—a Declaration that We will Leave only Positive Footprints behind, Ensuring that Our Actions do Not Disrupt the Natural World.
The Design and Materials used in the Moccasins also Speaks to the Deep Connection to Nature. They are Crafted from the Physical and Spiritual Essence of the Animals that Share this World with Us, Reminding Us of the Interdependence We have with All Beings. The Animals Offer their Assistance through the Sacrifice of Becoming a Protective Covering for our Feet. In turn, We are Called to Honour their Sacrifice and to Walk with a Sense of Gratitude and Respect for the Life that Sustains us.
The Purpose of the Moccasins is to Guide Us on Our Path of Exploration and Navigation. They Empower Us to Move through the World, not as Conquerors, but as Humble Travellers who are Learning, Exploring, and Seeking a Deeper Understanding of the World with Curiosity and Openness, and a Mindset of Balance and Respect.
When Wearing these Moccasins, We are Reminded to Call upon the Animals for Guidance, Wisdom and Teachings to Help Us Walk with Purpose, Intention, and Respect.
In Essence, the Moccasins of Peace are a Sacred Reminder of Our Responsibility to Tread Lightly upon the Earth, to Walk in Harmony with Nature, and to Protect Our Body, Mind, and Spirit upon Our Journey. They Encourage Us to Move Forward with Respect for all Living Beings and to Never Forget the Connection that we Share with the Natural World.
The Indigenous Sash of Integrity is a Sacred and Meaningful Adornment that Embodies the Essence of Human Purpose. Woven with Care and Intention, the Fibres of the Sash Reflect the Four Medicine Wheel Colours, Representing All Brothers and Sisters of Humanity. The Sash is a Symbol of the Oneness of Creation and the Integrity Required to Walk in Harmony with the World around us.
Each Colour in the Sash holds Deep Cultural Significance:
Yellow represents the EAST, embodying Growth, Knowledge, and Wisdom. It is the Colour of the Harvest and the Nurturing Qualities of Mother Earth, Reflecting the Continuous Cycle of Learning and Transformation that Guides Us on our Journey. The Element of Fire, Spring and Birth, the Sun and the Emotional Body are Yellow which Always starts with Tobacco.
Red, representing the South, is a Colour of Life, Strength, and Passion. It Connects Us to the Energy of the Sun and the Birth of each New Day, Symbolizing the Vitality of the Human Spirit and the importance of Honouring our Roots. Red is the Color of Love as well as Pain and Suffering, which is a Reminder of why we must Protect the Vulnerable. Red Symbolizes Plants, Cedar, the Moon, The Element of Water Summer and Noon.
Black, representing the West, is the Colour of Introspection, Healing, and Mystery. It holds the depth of Experience, Teaching Us the Value of Reflection and the Strength found in Overcoming Life's Challenges. It represents the Darkness which is necessary to be drawn towards the Light, Maturity, the Physical Body, Humans and the Plant Medicine Sage. Dusk, Maturity and Autumn are Represented with Black.
White, representing the North, Symbolizes Purity, Clarity, and Truth. It is the Colour of Wisdom and Elder Teachings, representing the Path of Enlightenment and the Guidance provided by those who have Walked before Us. It Symbolizes the Element of Air, Winter, Intellect, Animals and Sweetgrass. Death, Stars and Midnight are aspects of White.
Together, these Four Colours Represent the Wholeness of Human. Each person, regardless of Race, Culture, or Background is an Essential Part of the Interconnected Circle of Life. The Colors in the Sash complement each other, showing that it is through Unity and Collaboration that We Create something Greater than Our Selves. In the Weaving of this Sacred Piece, we are Reminded that We are all Different, yet all Equally Significant, and that Working Together in Peace and Harmony is what Creates the Beauty of our Shared Existence.
The Sash of Integrity is not only a decorative piece but a Powerful reminder of the Personal Responsibility We each Carry to Walk with Integrity in our Lives. It is a Symbol to Embrace our Shared Humanity, to Remember that We are Equal and each Deserve to be here as much as anyone else. When someone Wears this Sash, they are Embracing the Collective Spirit of Unity, Strength, and Wisdom, and are encouraged to Reflect on how their Actions impact the World around them.
The Sash is woven in the Shape of the Infinite Symbol—a Powerful reminder that We, as Human Beings, are Infinite. Our Spirits are Eternal, and our Journeys are part of a much Larger, Timeless narrative. The Infinite shape reflects the Cyclical Nature of Life, where there is no True Beginning or End, but a constant Flow of Energy, Purpose, and Connection.
This Sash Warms those who Embrace it, both Physically and Spiritually, as it is Crafted with Intention and Respect for the Land, the People, and the Creator. It is not just an item of Clothing, but a Sacred Tool—Reminding us of Our Duty to Live with Integrity and to Honour the Infinite Connections that we Share with All Beings and the Earth itself. Through this Powerful Symbol, we are Reminded that by Working Together and Honouring the Whole, We can Create a Beautiful, Harmonious World.
The Feather of Connection holds Deep Symbolic Significance within the 7 Sacred Cree Teachings, Embodying the Powerful Link between the Physical and Spiritual Realms. It Serves as a Sacred Reminder of Our Intrinsic Connection to Mother Earth and Father Creator. Just as Birds Soar from the Earth into the Sky, Crossing the Boundary between the Material World and the Spiritual, the Feather Symbolizes the Perpetual Flow of Energy between these two Realms.
It Teaches Us that We are not Isolated in Our Physical Existence; instead, We are part of a Larger, Divine Cycle that Connects Us to the Earth beneath Our Feet and the Creator Above. The Feather of Connection Reminds Us that We Come from both the Soil of Mother Earth and the Breath of Father Creator, and that We are Called to Walk in Harmony with Both.
The Feather also speaks to Our Origins and Purpose. It is a Reflection of where We come from—the Ancient Wisdom of the Earth and the Creator's plan for Us. It is a Reminder of the Sacred Purpose we Carry within Us: to Remain Free in Spirit, Guided by Our Sacred Connection to all Living Beings and the Cosmos. Just as a Bird is Free to Fly and Navigate between Worlds, We, too, are meant to Remain Free in Our Hearts and Minds, unburdened by Worldly Constraints, and Aligned with Our True Spiritual Path.
In Every Movement of the Feather, We are Reminded to Stay Grounded in Our Heritage while also Aspiring to Live with a Sense of Freedom, Purpose, and Spiritual Awareness, Understanding that We are both Earthbound and Spirit-Bound, Eternally Connected to the Wisdom of the World and the Creator.
The Chest Plate of Protection is a Sacred and Powerful Symbol within Indigenous Teachings, Historically Worn in times of Conflict and War. This Intricate piece of Armour is a Representation of how We must Protect Our Body, Mind, and Spirit—Especially when Faced with Adversity or Opposition.
The Chest Plate Teaches Us to Not Take Things Personally when We Face Challenges or Malicious Actions from Others. Like the Bones woven within the Chest Plate, We are to Remain Hollow yet Strong and Allow the Energy of Others to Flow through Us. The Hollow Nature of the Armour Symbolizes the need to Let Go of the Negativity of Others.
The Chest Plate also Serves as a Reminder to not Harm those who Harm Us even in the Face of Hostility. Our Greatest Strength Lies in Our Ability to Control our Thoughts which Protect Our Heart while still Walking in a Way that does not Cause Harm to Others, no matter their Actions are towards Us. Just as the Chest Plate Shields the Heart without Aggression, We, too, must Protect Ourselves without Retaliation, Remembering the Higher Calling of Peace and Harmony.
In essence, the Chest Plate of Protection teaches Us to Protect Others from Harm as much as We are to Protect Our Self from Taking Things Personally and Spreading the Darkness.
The Medicine Pouch is a Sacred and Powerful Symbol within Indigenous Traditions, Representing the Union between the Medicine within Us and the Medicine of Mother Earth. This Pouch, Crafted from Natural Materials like Hide, Bones, Shells or Cloth, is a Personal Vessel of Healing—a Reminder that each of Us carries the Ability to Heal and be Healed, and that We are Deeply Connected to the Natural World and its Restorative Powers.
In its essence, the Medicine Pouch is not just a Container for Physical Objects; it Symbolizes Our Personal Power and the Divine Medicine that We each Hold within Our Spirit. It is a Reminder that We are not only Recipients of the Earth’s Healing Gifts but also Bearers of Healing Energy wherever We go. The Pouch often Holds Sacred Plants, Stones, Feathers, and other Natural items—Each of which Holds specific Spiritual Qualities. These Items are not just Symbolic but are Physical Manifestations of the Larger Forces of Mother Earth and the Creator’s Wisdom.
The Pouch is also a Reminder of the Partnership between the Individual and the Earth. The Medicine of Mother Earth—the Plants, Minerals, Water, and Animals—is Powerful on its Own, but when combined with the Medicine within Us, it Creates a Dynamic and Synergistic Force. This Union forms a Powerful Team of Healing, Working in tandem to Provide Balance, Strength, and Restoration wherever We go. Both Forces—the Inner Wisdom and the Natural World—are Necessary for True Healing, and the Pouch Encourages us to Honour Both in Equal Measure.
The Medicine Pouch Serves as a Reminder that We are Always Spreading Health or Infection. Just as our Actions, Thoughts, and Words can either Nurture or Harm, the Pouch Teaches Us to be Conscious of the Effect We have on those around Us, and Our Selves.
The Act of Wearing or Carrying the Medicine Pouch is a Personal Commitment to Live Consciously, Honouring the Sacred Responsibility of holding Both our own Medicine and the Healing Gifts of the Earth. It is a Call to be Aware of Our Thoughts, our Actions, and our Words, recognizing that We are Always in Relationship with Others—whether Human or non-Human—and that we play an Active role in the Health of the Collective.
This Pouch, which is often Worn close to the Body, also carries a more Intimate Message: that We must First Heal Our Self, before We can offer Healing to Others. Just as the pouch is kept close to the Heart or Waist, so too must our Personal Healing be kept close to our own Center. It Reminds Us that Healing is an ongoing, Personal Process, and only through Inner Balance and Alignment can We Hope to bring Balance to the World around Us.
The Medicine Pouch, by its very Nature, is Alive with Intention. The Materials within it are imbued with Spiritual Meaning, each item acting as a Tool, a Reminder, or a Teacher. It might contain Sage for Cleansing, Cedar for Protection, Sweetgrass for Healing, or Turquoise for Balance. Whatever the contents, the Pouch Serves as an Anchor to our connection with the Earth, the Spiritual Realm, and our Higher Purpose.
Ultimately, the Medicine Pouch Teaches us to Live in Harmony with the Earth, to Remember that We are Both Healers and the Healed, and that our Personal Energy has the Power to Affect all that We Encounter. By carrying this Sacred Tool, We are constantly Reminded of the Profound Partnership between Humanity and the Earth—a Partnership that holds the Potential to Heal and Renew, one step at a Time. The Medicine Pouch, therefore, is not only a Vessel of Medicine but a Vessel of Responsibility, inviting us to Walk Gently, Heal Deeply, and be Conscious of the Legacy we Leave Behind.
The Belt of Gratitude is a Profound and Powerful Symbol in Indigenous Traditions, Representing the Foundation upon which Everything else is Built. It is a Sacred Tool that Symbolizes the Strength and Stability that Gratitude provides in our Lives, Holding all things in Place and Giving Us the Ability to Navigate the Challenges of Life with Grace and Resilience. Just as a Belt is worn around the Waist, Holding up the Clothes We Wear and Giving us Structure, the Belt of Gratitude holds up Our Spiritual and Emotional wellbeing, Acting as a constant Reminder of the Power of Appreciation.
Gratitude is not just an Emotion but a Transformative Force of Magic. When We Focus on what We are Grateful for, it Begins to Draw more of those things into our Lives. In the same way, the Belt of Gratitude Reminds Us that when We Acknowledge the Blessings We already have—whether Large or Small—We open Our Selves to Receiving even more Blessings in the form of Health, Joy, and Abundance. Gratitude is the Magnet that pulls in more Positive Energy, and the Belt Serves as a constant Reminder that our Lives are Enriched by the simple Act of Being Thankful.
This Belt, woven from Natural Fibers or Sacred Materials, may be adorned with Feathers, Beads, or Stones that each hold Symbolic meaning. The Belt's design is Intricate and Purposeful, with every Thread or Decoration Representing something we are Thankful for—whether it is the Strength of Mother Earth, the Wisdom of Father Creator, or the Love of the People in our Lives. The Decoration can also Reflect the Medicine or Blessings We have Received, each Bead or Feather adding its Energy to the Gratitude that We Express.
The Belt of Gratitude is unique in its Purpose—it is not just a Tool for Physical Adornment, but a Spiritual Anchor, a Supporting Structure that Reminds us to Stand Tall and Walk Forward in our Journey with Humility and Appreciation. When We are Grounded in Gratitude, We are Centered and Balanced, able to Face Life's Trials with a Mindset that seeks Solutions rather than Dwelling on Problems. This Belt Reminds us that Gratitude is the Foundation that Holds everything up: Our Relationships, Our Health, Our sense of Purpose, and Our Connection to the Creator.
Gratitude also Allows us to Shift Perspective. It Teaches Us that Everything, even the most Challenging Moments, Carries a Gift or Lesson if We choose to see it that Way. The Belt of Gratitude Encourages us to Reflect on the Lessons We Learn and the Strength We Gain from Adversity, Appreciating the Journey just as much as the Destination. When We wear this Belt, We are constantly Reminded to be Thankful not only for the Good Things in Life but also for the Opportunities that Come with Hardship, for it is through Challenges that We often Grow the most.
The Act of Wearing or Embracing the Belt of Gratitude also Connects us to the Wider World Around Us. It Reminds us that Gratitude is not something that Exists in Isolation but is a Force that Extends outward to Everything We Encounter. When We Express Gratitude, We Acknowledge Our Connection to Others—to the People We Love, to the Land, and to All Living Beings. This Belt binds us to the Earth and to each Other, Fostering Community and Reminding Us that when We Give Thanks, We are Contributing to the Healing and Well-Being of the Collective.
By Wearing the Belt of Gratitude, We are making a Declaration: that we Honour what We have, Celebrating the Beauty of Life, and We Invite Abundance into Every corner of our Existence. The more we Live in Gratitude, the more We draw in Health, Joy, and Peace. It is a Cycle that Perpetuates It Self: as we Give Thanks, We Receive More to be Thankful for.
Ultimately, the Belt of Gratitude is a Symbol of Strength and Spiritual Resilience, a Tool that Supports and Uplifts Us on our Journey through Life. It Reminds Us that We are Empowered by the simple act of Appreciating what We have, and that through Gratitude, We Create a Life filled with Light, Love, and the Richness of the World around Us. By carrying this Belt, We are Reminded that Gratitude is the Energy that sustains Us, and it is this Energy that Holds Everything up, providing Us with the Courage to keep Moving Forward, with Grace and with a Heart Full of Appreciation.
The Medallion of Patience is a Sacred Symbol that Speaks to the Art of taking Time—in our Actions, Thoughts, and Intentions. Crafted with Meticulous Beading, each small Bead Represents the Careful Steps We Take in Life, the Deliberate Attention to Detail, and the Patience Required to Create something Beautiful and Meaningful. Just as the Process of Beading takes Time and Focus, so too does the Journey of Life. The Medallion Reminds us that Growth and Healing are not instantaneous but are Built through small, consistent Actions, and a Willingness to Correct Mistakes as we Move Forward.
The Beading itself is an Intricate Process, requiring the Maker to Slow Down, Reflect, and Persist—Qualities that Mirror the Challenges and Lessons of Life. In Life, We often Rush toward the Destination, Neglecting the Lessons Learned along the Way, but the Medallion of Patience Invites Us to Take our Time. It Encourages Us to Approach Life’s Challenges with Grace, to Correct Errors, and to Learn from them rather than to become Frustrated or Discouraged by Imperfection. The Beads on the Medallion are a Reflection of the Small Steps We take Every Day. Just as each Bead is Threaded with Intention, every Moment of our Lives can be Filled with Purpose and Meaning, even in the Slow, Careful Process of Becoming who We are Meant to Be.
The Circular Shape of the Medallion is Timeless, Representing Wholeness, Unity, and Infinity. It reminds us that Life is Cyclical—there is no True End nor Beginning, only a Continuous Glow of Learning, Growing, and Evolving. The Circle is also a Symbol of Completion, Teaching Us that, although We may Make Mistakes or Face Setbacks, each Cycle of Life moves Us toward Greater Wholeness and Understanding. The Medallion’s Shape Encourages Us to Embrace Life as a Process, One where Patience and Persistence are Essential to finding Peace and Wisdom.
The Beads themselves are not Uniform in Shape or Size; some may be Larger or Smaller, some more Vibrant, others more Subdued. This Serves as a Reminder that Life is made up of Many Different Experiences, each Contributing to Our Personal Journey. Some Experiences may be Joyful and Easy, while Others may feel Challenging or Difficult, but each is Necessary for our Growth. The Medallion of Patience Teaches Us to Embrace Both the Smooth and Rough parts of Life, knowing that they All Serve to Create the Complete and Beautiful Whole of our Being.
The Medallion of Patience is worn around the Neck, close to the Heart, as a Personal Reminder to Take the Time needed to Walk through Life with Deliberate Calm and a Gentle Spirit. It is a Medal, a Symbol of the Strength it takes to Move through Life with Patience and Perseverance. Much like a Medal of Honour, it Honours our Ability to remain Steady, even in moments of Frustration, and to keep Moving Forward with a Sense of Purpose, despite the Challenges We may Encounter. It Teaches us to carry Patience like a Badge of Honour, Remembering that We are in the Process of Becoming—and that We must Allow Our Selves to Grow at Our Own Pace.
The Medallion also Serves as a Reminder that Imperfection is part of being Human. Just as no two Beads are Exactly Alike, no two Lives are the Same. Each of Us comes with Unique Challenges and Triumphs, but We are All on the Same Path toward Wholeness. Perfection is not the Goal—Patience, Acceptance of Mistakes, and the Willingness to Learn and Correct are the True Lessons that the Medallion Holds.
When We wear the Medallion of Patience, We are Reminded to Honour the Slow, Steady Progress We make Every Day. We are Encouraged to Trust that, over time, our Efforts will Come Together, just as the Beads in the medallion Come Together to form something Beautiful. It Teaches us to Slow Down, to Breathe, and to Trust the Process, knowing that Every small Action and every Moment of Patience Leads Us toward a More Complete and Balanced Self.
In its Beauty and Intricacy, the Medallion of Patience is a Symbol of the Power of Resilience—the Strength to keep Moving Forward, even when things seem Imperfect or Difficult. It is a Reminder that Life is not a Race but a Journey, and that By Embracing Patience, We Create something far more Precious: a Life Built on Understanding, Grace, and the Quiet Strength that Comes from Walking through the World with a Patient Heart.
The Choker of Service is a Sacred Piece worn close to the Throat, where Breath becomes Word, and Intention becomes Action. It sits at the Center of the Voice—a place of Great Spiritual Responsibility. This Choker is a Reminder that We are not here just to Speak, but to Serve—with Our Presence, Our Gifts, and Our Deepest Truths.
In many Indigenous Traditions, Chokers were worn for Protection—around the Neck, a Vulnerable part of the Body and Spirit. Warriors wear them into Battle; Dancers wear them in Ceremony. The Choker of Service draws on that same Sacred Purpose—not to Fight with Force, but to show up with Courage, Protect Others through Love and to Serve Humanity with Strength, Humility, and Care.
This Piece Symbolizes our Commitment to Serve all Beings because it is our Purpose. It Reminds Us that Service begins with Listening—to the Land, to the People and to Spirit. It Asks us to Make our Words Offerings of Healing, Guidance and Comfort.
Worn daily, the Choker of Service Connects Us to Our Sacred Duty: to uplift those around Us, to act when Others cannot, to Carry Water, offer Medicine, hold hands, and speak peace into hard spaces. It is not about being above others—it is about being with them, walking alongside, hands open, heart forward.
The choker rests where our breath passes through, the same breath that gives life to song, prayer, story, and promise. It reminds us that to serve is not just to act—but to act consciously, with our whole heart aligned. Service is not just doing—it is being in the right way, wherever we are.
Made of bead, bone, shell, fiber, or hide, the materials reflect the diversity of service: each strand a teaching, each knot a commitment. Whether simple or adorned, it holds power through intention, not appearance. It teaches us to carry our role with honor, without ego, and to remember that even in silence, our presence can serve.
To wear the Choker of Service is to walk in the world with purpose and love. It is to speak when needed, stand when called, and to be a living helper—bringing healing, strength, and connection wherever we go. It is a quiet but powerful declaration:
“I am here for the people. I am here for the Earth. I am here to serve.”
