What did president kennedy mean when he said to americans ask not what your country can do for you , ask what you can do for your country

This can have lots of different meanings like don't be selfish think of others, help the people in your country don't expect them to help you. don't expect something if you don't help or give something so see there are lots of meanings to what Kennedy said. hope I helped

My best answer is the haudenosaunnee or the iroquois.

Could you provide the video? : )
