The Seven Sacred Laws
The Seven Sacred Laws are important teachings in indigenous culture. These teachings honour spiritual law and bring us back to our connection to the land. The Seven Sacred Laws are represented by seven animals. Each animal offers a special gift and understanding of how we as people should live our lives on Mother Earth.
