[Guest guest]

Wonderful! Two of our grandmothers are Lakhota, a strong connection for me, and

one Agnes Baker Pilgrim I had pleasure of knowing while living in southern

Oregon. Please pass along. . . Seeing this gives me hope that we are truly

coming together as family that can heal each other and this beatuiful planet and

a sense that 'peace on earth' truly has meaning'. Mitakuye oyasin! Blessing to

All! In Light. . .Skye

WE ARE THIRTEEN INDIGENOUS GRANDMOTHERS who came together

for the first time from October 11 through October 17,

2004, in Phoenicia, New York. We gathered from the four

directions in the land of the people of the Iroquois

Confederacy. We come here from the Amazon rainforest, the

Arctic circle of North America, the great forest of the

American northwest, the vast plains of North America, the

highlands of central America, the Black Hills of South

Dakota, the mountains of Oaxaca, the desert of the American

southwest, the mountains of Tibet and from the rainforest

of Central Africa.

 

Affirming our relations with traditional medicine peoples

and communities throughout the world, we have been brought

together by a common vision to form a new global alliance.

 

We are the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous

Grandmothers. We have united as one. Ours is an alliance of

prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all Her

inhabitants, all the children and for the next seven

generations to come.

 

We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction

of our Mother Earth, the contamination of our air, waters

and soil, the atrocities of war, the global scourge of

poverty, the threat of nuclear weapons and waste, the

prevailing culture of materialism, the epidemics which

threaten the health of the Earth's peoples, the

exploitation of indigenous medicines, and with the

destruction of indigenous ways of life.

 

We, the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous

Grandmothers, believe that our ancestral ways of prayer,

peacemaking and healing are vitally needed today. We come

together to nurture, educate and train our children. We

come together to uphold the practice of our ceremonies and

affirm the right to use our plant medicines free of legal

restriction. We come together to protect the lands where

our peoples live and upon which our cultures depend, to

safeguard the collective heritage of traditional medicines,

and to defend the earth Herself. We believe that the

teachings of our ancestors will light our way through an

uncertain future.

 

We join with all those who honor the Creator, and to all

who work and pray for our children, for world peace, and

for the healing of our Mother Earth.

 

For all our relations.
