Remember The Native American Code of Ethics

Filed under: Documentation,General,Poems and Essays — Mark @ 7:04 pm

Hello My Friends,

In light of recent world events, I decided to re-post the following list of personal codes of conduct, by which to live, that are commonly referred to as the Native American Code of Ethics.

Most Sincerely,

Mark
