The Red Road

Quinn Jacobson July 12, 2022

Keep yourself balanced. Your mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical self need to be strong, pure, and healthy. Work out the body to strengthen the mind. Grow rich in spirit to secure emotional ails. “Walk straight the Red Path and avoid the extremes of life.”

Native American Code of Ethics

The Red Road or the Red Path is the Native spiritual path. Walking the Red Road means living in the moment connected to all that surrounds us, and respecting all of our relations and Mother Earth and Father Sky. It means finding a balance between and attending to our four sides: spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional. It means taking care and respecting ourselves and the Creator. It means being thankful for what we have, taking only what we need, and giving back.
