 TEN Final Thoughts

(Spring 2008)

 

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfather. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have tought our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.

 

 

TEN Final Thoughts

(Summer 2008)

 

I never before knew the full value of trees. Under them I breakfast, dine, write, read and receive company.

 

-Thomas Jefferson

 

 TEN Final Thoughts

(Fall 2008)

 

The Haudenosaunee elders and scientists would agree that life was never a certainty and that it remains fragile and needs protection. The Haudenosaunee then go one step further: for life as we know it and for the fact that it exists at all, we must remain very grateful. This is why we give thanks as we do. It is why we bring our minds together and why we try hard not to omit any part of the natural world, for we recognize that every part is necessary, and for every part we are deeply grateful.

 

- Paul Williams, Kayanesenh. Excerpt from "Words That Come Before All Else".

 

TEN Final Thoughts

(Winter 2008)

 

Our identity depends on how we fulfill our responsibilities to our children. The knowledgeable ones teaching young minds is the key that ensures our language, customs and traditions will remain alive and constant.

 

- Lehman "Dar" Dowdy, Faith Keeper, and speaker in the longhouse on the Allegany Territory. Excerpted from the Faith Keepers School, Allegany Territory.
