from doing detail work--anything from flipping
through a directory for one name in ten thousand
to guessing at amounts in a recipe. No time, no
time.
Time isn't saved by guessing. Even when
we hit it right once in a while--most of the time we
are just a little off. How many of us take our basic
instructions from hearsay--how many don't really
want to know anyhow?
Life itself has an instruction book. There's
no reason to guess at what is right or wrong. We
have a script for every part we play in life. When we
have a need of any kind, the script has the wisdom
to handle it. The Scriptures leave out nothing--and
the biggest mistake we can make is to say we don't
believe it--and go off to figure it out by guessing.
We were put here by the Creator and these were our
rights.

Red Road Lesson 10
Turtle Island
Northern America has been called
Turtle Island by many Native tribes
for generations. The reference stems
from a belief that the continent was
placed upon the Great Turtle's back.
Drawings of North America often depict
the land as a turtle, and some use the
tortoise as a representation of their
tribes.
Indians love their friends and kin-
dred, and treat them with kindness.

In our language there is no word to
say inferior or superiority or equality
because we are all equal . . .

On This Date in
Native American History
October 15, 1925: The Vanishing Amer-
ican, a controversial motion picture
exploring the mismanagement and cor-
ruption of reservations and how this
affects the American Indian, premiered
in New York City. This sympathetic
view of indigenous people was not
completely well received by the
American public, and many debated
not only the condition of the American
Indian, but also what should be done
with them.
