Answer 1

We have our own 26 codes of ethics, our own commandments.
We believe in the Great Spirit, and several others. We believe that to walk a path of truth is to walk a path of love. If you want to know more go onto the web and look up "Red Path"

My Native American heritage

Answer 2

Well I'm a Cherokee Christian, but I follow many of the old traditions. For example, I go to a small creek close to where I live (Cherokee believe bodies of water are sacred sites) to cleanse my soul, if you will, and reconnect with myself. There are also countless ceremonies you could research. Be careful of what you find online though. I recomend checking out a library book instead.

Answer 3

No, I was about to tell you that all the native American nations are different, but you are only asking about the Cherokee. It should be easy to find. Google it.

Answer 4

I can tell you that it is was primarily (animal) spiritualist based with some judeo-christian basis prior to a knowledge of judeo-christian existence and that your best resource for this would be to look up Cherokee Belief Systems on this wonderful instrument we call the internet!
