The Golden Rules of Mi'kmaq Civilization

Treat others the way you would have them treat you
Gossip is evil chatter, do not partake in it
If you have nothing good to say about someone, then say nothing at all
Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer
Be a GOOD SAMARITAN everyday
Do no bad deeds, for if you do they will come back at you with 5 times the strenght
What goes around, comes around
A selfish person gains no ground
The creator helps those who help themselves
Human life is more valuable than all earthly possessions
vulgarity shows lack of character
Treat Mother Earth and all that interact with her with respect
Inner beauty is real
Do not be materialistic, keep only the possions you need
Let your ego not get bigger than your head

disrespecting parents
being materialistic
being jealous
littering Mother Earth
disrespecting our people

What not to do:

Do not drink cola, or drink rarely as possible. It is a recipe for diabetes.
Unless you live a very active and physical lifestyle, do not eat egg yolks, or eat as little as possible. It is far too rich for the modern adult.
Do not eat too much beef or pork products, instead stick to more fish supplimented with wild meat.
Do not eat any food that is greasy to the touch.
Do not anything that contains oils that are hydronated.
Do not drink tap water, or do so rarely. The toxins used to kill organisms are no better for you.
Do not eat any food that is too sweet, and avoid too much sugar in your diet.
Do not apply salt to foods, as salt is already in the foods you eat.
Do not eat often at fast food places because the menu is usually unhealthy.
Do not use regular banks, choose a local credit union instead- you will be supporting your community.
Do not base your impressions, opinions and decisions solely by the impressions, opinions and decisions of others.
