13 Grandmothers

WE, THE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF THIRTEEN INDIGENOUS GRANDMOTHERS, represent a global 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 and the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of our ancestors will light our way through an uncertain future. We look to further our vision through the realization of projects that protect our diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer and through projects that educate and nurture our children.
Their work meshes with my most recent thinking on neo-tribalism as an alternative social organizing principle.

Aren't these women beautiful? May Grandmother energy strenghten our resolve to protect the earth and those who dwell here.
Blessings,
Sharry
PS My grandchildren call me Gramma. Maybe I should have insisted on Grandmother with all it's dignity.
