Native American proverbs
The majority of this page is unsourced, and probably unsourceable. "Native American proverbs" as a category is a dustbin for elliptical folksy aphorisms and apocryphal quotes (Chief Seattle, "walk a mile in his moccasins" etc). No prejudice to re-recreation if actually sourced. Gordonofcartoon 03:59, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete: Pointless article and scores number 8 on top ten worst articles. Also thank you admins for creating these VFDs because it really helps the website on trying to get only the bad articles deleted.(StarWarsFanBoy 05:46, 14 February 2010 (UTC))
 * Delete It needs sources to prove that these are Native American as some are suspiciously similar to European ones.--Ole.Holm 10:13, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Exactly. For instance, since when did Matthew 5:45 become a Hopi proverb? Gordonofcartoon 17:03, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom: unsourced and exceedingly difficult to source reliably. I looked up a few and found 20th century sources attributing them to indian tribes, but 17th and 16th century sources attributed them to the English and Irish. ~ Ningauble 17:56, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
