Code of Conduct – According to the Anishinaabe Grandfather Teachings- the 7 virtues are to be upheld fulfilling the mantra: “Go in a Good Way”. Elder Dr. David Courchene calls them the Seven Sacred Laws, and how these Laws can set a foundation for us to live by as they emanate from having the spirit of kindness.
The Seven Grandfather Teachings are the principles of character that each Anishinaabe should live by: Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility, and Truth.
These teachings impact our surroundings, along with providing guidance toward our actions to one another.
“Each of these teachings must be used with the rest. You cannot have Wisdom without Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility, and Truth. You cannot be Honest if you are only using one of the other teachings. To leave out one teaching would be embracing the opposite of what the teaching means.”
WISDOM ~ Wisdom is represented by the Beaver. The teaching of wisdom will allow you to use your inherited gifts wisely and to recognize your differences and those of others in a kind and respectful way. Wisdom nurtures your ability to listen with clarity and a sound mind so this teaching will focus on how to listen.
LOVE ~ Love is represented by the Eagle. Love can be found in the core of all teachings. It is most important and focuses on having peace with yourself, balance in life, acceptance of all things and graciousness with the creator.
RESPECT: Buffalo ~ Respect is often represented through buffalo or plains bison. Respect is shown for the land by all that we do to ensure it is protected for the next seven generations and beyond. It represents the relationship humans have with the land and to honour all that the land is and does for us.
BRAVERY: Bear ~ Bravery is often represented by the bear. Bravery is a Teaching that is given and shown most when we need it. When we stand up for the land, we are demonstrating Bravery to do what is right by its protection.
HONESTY: Raven ~ Honesty can be represented through the raven. Honesty is a Teaching that starts with one’s inner self. It begins with understanding how we can be genuine behind our intentions and how we can practise honesty toward the land and admit where and identify how we can do better to protect it.
HUMILITY: Wolf ~ Humility often takes the form of a wolf. Humility is an important Teaching when faced with the reality of our actions and the impact humans have had and still do have on the land. We practice Humility when we own up to our shortcomings and learn from our past mistakes. Wolves are social animals and generally live in packs of three to seven individuals.
TRUTH: Turtle ~ Truth is represented by Turtle. Turtle is the compilation of all the Teachings we’ve been given; it is to know that in order to maintain a reciprocal relationship with the land, we must be truthful with ourselves and with others. We are to seek truth and balance with the land and the species that live on Turtle Island.
Failure to uphold these principles in the community, will lead to two warnings and then dismissal. The ASMIN member will first be advised of his/her inappropriate behaviors and if he/she persists, the membership will be terminated.
I __________ adhere to these Seven Sacred Laws set forth by the Anishinaabe teachings.
