I've been studying up and have found great comfort as well as strength from this simple, yet deep Wisdom. Here are some easy to grasp lessons from Fran Dancing Feather:

Desire to seek harmony with Nature, rather than control it.

Choose the present to be more important than the future.

Believe that humans are basically good rather than evil.

Emphasize communal or clan lifestyle rather than individual status and priorities.

Place greater value on spiritual accomplishments, as opposed to materialism.

Respect other religions, and avoid proselytizing.
