1. Share what you have.

This is the umbrella law. Under it sit all the other laws. It was of absolute importance that people share what they had long ago just for survival. Share all the big game you kill. Share fish if you catch more than you need for yourself and there are others who don’t have any.

2. Help each other.

Help Elders cut their wood and other heavy work. Help sick people who are in need. Get them firewood if they need it. Visit them and give them food. When you lose someone in death, share your sorrows with relatives who are also affected by the loss. Help out widows as much as possible and take care of the orphaned children.

3. Love each other as much as possible.

Treat each other as brothers and sisters as though you are related. Help each other and don’t harm anyone.

4. Be respectful of Elders.

Don’t run around when elders are eating. Sit down until they are finished.

5. Sleep at night and work during the day.

Don’t run around and laugh loudly when it gets dark. Everyone should sleep when darkness falls.

6. Be polite and don't argue with anyone.

Don’t harm anyone with your voice or your actions. Don’t hurt anyone with your medicine power. Don’t show anger.

7. Young girls and boys should behave respectfully.

Don’t make fun of each other especially in matters of sex. Don’t make fun of older men and women. Be polite to each other.

8. Pass on the Teachings.

Elders are to tell stories about the past everyday. In this way, young people learn to distinguish between good and unacceptable behavior and when they are older, they will become the storytellers who will keep the circle of life going.

9. Be happy at all times.

The Creator has given you a great gift, Mother Earth. Take care of her and she will always give you food and shelter. Don’t worry-just go about your work and make the best of everything. Don’t judge people, find something good in everyone.
