INDIAN SMOKE SIGNALS ON RELIGION

May 21, 2010 Chief Likhiket 0 min read

The Redman’s religion is not a matter of certain days and set observances, but is a part of his every thought and daily life. Many years ago a missionary severely rebuked an Indian for driving his team on a Sunday. The Indian looked puzzled, as he was merely minding his own business and caring for his family. The missionary reiterated that this was the Lord’s Day. At last a light dawned on the Indian. He glanced up with a gleam in his eye and answered, “Oh, I see, Your God comes only one day a week; my God is with me every day and all the time.”

How Modern Textiles Came To Be | The History of Ordinary Things
