Northern Nail Polish color: Wisdom
@funkifiednails
"Nbookaawin" (Wisdom): The Chippewa traditional Seven Grandfather Teachings says: To live with wisdom is to acquire and use experiences as guides for making equitable and mature decisions.

Native American tribes are very diverse. Cultural teachings, philosophies, and social dynamics differ greatly from one tribe to another. Even within one tribe, stories and teachings may vary from region to region. The information I provide here is from the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan, where my son and his father are members.
The First Elder gave us the gifts of knowledge that he received from the Seven Grandfathers when he was a little boy. Each Grandfather gave him a great gift. One gave him the gift of Nbookaawin (Wisdom), and he learned to use that wisdom for his people.
The Grandfathers told him, “Each of these Teachings must be used with the rest. You can not have WISDOM without LOVE, RESPECT, BRAVERY, HONESTY, HUMILITY, and TRUTH. You can not be honest if you use only one or two of the Teachings, and to leave out one is to embrace the opposite of what the Teaching is.”
We should all try to live by the Seven Grandfather Teachings. Sometimes it may be hard to apply all of them daily, but we must try. If we don’t practice honesty, we cheat. If we don’t practice truth, we will lie. We must go back to the knowledge that the Seven Grandfathers taught the First Elder, who then passed the Teachings on to the next generation, and so on.
The Seven Grandfather Teachings will remind us how to treat one another and our children. Each of us is responsible for taking care of the children and of Mother Earth. The children are the ones who must care
for Mother Earth tomorrow, and for the generations to come.”
