Publisher Description
A traditional Iroquois celebration of the beauty and spirit of Mother Earth, as told by a contemporary Mohawk chief.
For as long as anyone can remember, Mohawk parents have taught their children to start each day by giving thanks to Mother Earth. Also known as the Thanksgiving Address, this good morning message is based on the belief that the natural world is a precious and rare gift. The whole universe - from the highest stars to the tiniest blade of grass - is addressed as one great family.Download and start listening now!
“The text speaks concise thanks to Mother Earth, to water, grass, fruits, animals, to the wind and rain, sun, moon and stars, to the Spirit Protectors of our past and present, ‘for showing us ways to live in peace and harmony,’ and to the Great Spirit, giver of all. The simplicity and familiarity of the message do not diminish the moving effect of the lengthening catalog of blessings.”
— School Library Journal
