Elder's Meditation of the Day - February 16 | |
"Because woman lives so close to our first mother, the Earth,
she emanates the strength and harmonious nature of all things."
|
-- Larry P. Aitken, CHIPPEWA

At an Elders gathering, held in July 1991, we were told the Indian woman would play
an instrumental part in leading the healing of Indian nations. The old people said we
were to look up to her in a sacred manner. They said the Earth Mother would give the
woman special gifts of love. The woman and the Earth Mother are connected in a special
way. Women should pay attention to the lessons coming from the Earth. Men should treat
the women with respect, dignity and honor.

Grandfather, Grandmother, give the Indian woman Your strength to heal our Earth.
