The Seven Sacred Teachings of the Anishinaabe

These teachings form part of our openings for all Circles.

Circles for Reconciliation Inc. recognizes that all First Nations, Métis and Inuit people have their own cultural teachings that encompass the morals and values of conduct.On page 30 of “Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future.”, it states that The Seven Sacred Teachings of the Anishinaabe—Respect, Courage, Love, Truth, Humility, Honesty, and Wisdom—served as the themes for the seven National Events, and ceremony and traditional observance played an important part in the National Events. It is recognized that there are many adaptions of the teachings. We encourage each circle to adapt the Seven Sacred Teachings of the Anishinaabe to the needs of their circle.

View all the guidelines that we use to ensure respectful and consistent gatherings.

  • LOVE: it is more important to care for one another
  • HONESTY: better to fail with honesty than succeed by fraud
  • RESPECT: give it, earn it, receive it
  • TRUTH: it is always easiest to speak the truth
  • HUMILITY: to be humble about your accomplishments is to be strong
  • COURAGE: let nothing stand in the way of doing the right thing
  • WISDOM: with hard work and dedication will come knowledge
