Another forum in which I participate has a discussion about the saying "Don't judge another person until you'ved walked a mile (or walked two moons) in his moccasins (or shoes)." http://geniimagazine.com/forum/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=12 ;t=000543 I was able to find a 1930 cite for a variation of this saying. Is that the earliest?
