The Haudenosaunee code of behavior for traditional medicine healers

11 Jan 2007

To the youth of the Haudenosaunee Nations: There is a growing movement amongst our youth recognizing the importance of preserving the traditional practices of the Haudenosaunee. [...] Protecting our traditional medicine practices, as well as the authority and jurisdiction of our healers in the manner of spiritual practices, will benefit our youth and future generations of the Haudenosaunee. [...] The following document is a guide that has been created to open the door for the Haudenosaunee of the 21st century to embrace knowledge of traditional medicine and preserve this knowledge for the children of today and for the seven generations yet to come. [...] Applying regulations to Haudenosaunee traditional medicine practices is an intrusion on the jurisdiction of the Haudenosaunee and violates the principles of the Two-Row Wampum. [...] We commit ourselves to be concerned with the entire person, the interrelationship of mind, body, spirit, and emotion, and the relationship people have with their family or clan, community, and nation, as well as with the Creator and the spirit world.
