Ongwehonwe Living
Returning to the Wisdom of the Original Being
What does it truly mean to live as Ongwehonwe?
​
Ongwehonwe, meaning “Original Being” among the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people, is more than identity — it is a way of living.
​
It is remembering who you are before the world told you who to be.​​
Ongwehonwe Living is rooted in:
• Indigenous wisdom
• Haudenosaunee teachings
• Ancestral awareness
• Harmony with the Earth
• Respect for community and lineage
​
To live as Ongwehonwe means:
-
Walking gently upon the Earth
-
Honoring the ancestors
-
Protecting future generations
-
Living with balance, gratitude, and responsibility
​
It is not about the past alone.
It is about living those teachings today.
