Ohenten Karihwatehkwen:Words Before All Else
We are pleased to offer the Thanksgiving Address: Greetings
to the Natural World, in a pocket-size (4" x 5") edition. These traditional Native American words of thanksgiving come from
the people of the Six Nations—the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora—also known as the Iroquois or Haudenosaunee,
who live in upstate New York, Wisconsin and Canada. Spoken as a spiritual address to the powers of the natural world, these
words are used to open gatherings in order to bring the minds of the people together as one and align the gathered minds with
Nature. The roots of these words reach back thousands of years to the very origins of the Haudenosaunee as a people. The book
presents the text in English and the original Mohawk.
Produced by The Tracking Project together with the Tree
of Peace Society, the Six Nations Indian Museum and the Native Self-Sufficiency Center; proceeds are shared among these groups.
ENGLISH/MOHAWK EDITION AVAILABLE AT TREE OF PEACE SOCIETY.
