Shawnee Proverbs

Shawnee proverbs carry the voice of an Algonquian people of the Ohio Valley. Shaped by migration, hunting life, and Tecumseh’s resistance, they prize kinship, balance with nature, and brave action.

Do not hurt your neighbor, for it is not him you wrong but yourself. (Shawnee Proverb)
Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. View proverb
