Thanksgiving Address
Greetings to the Natural World
Haudenosaunee (Six Nations or Iroquois)
Illustrations by Kahionhes, Mohawk Nation Turtle Clan
These words are spoken before and after all ceremonial and governmental gatherings. The belief is that the world must not be taken for granted, and that communicating thankfulness aligns the minds and hearts of the people with Nature. This forms a guiding principle of culture.
Softcover, 4x5, 42pp., c.1000, 1993.
This 10 minute video is a powerful audiovisual portrayal of the Thanksgiving Address.
The book arrived in perfect time and my son, who was visiting from his commune was so happy to see it. He was familiar with the prayer and read it aloud at Thanksgiving dinner. He was thrilled when I gave it to him, as he does work with that tribe and it meant a lot to him.
Beautiful.
Grateful to have access to this important printing created with so much intention.
