For the past decade I’ve tried to
incorporate into our Thanksgiving gathering, a simple ritual that
honors Indigenous People. On this week’s podcast, I share the
ritual I tried this year. The Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address
calls forth gratitude for the people, the earth mother, the waters,
the fish, the plants, the food plants, the medicinal herbs, the
animals, the trees, the birds and the four winds, for all they do
to sustain, nourish and strengthen us.
May we find ways to gather in community to create ritual that
honors all Indigenous People, to bring our minds as one, as we
honor all of creation. I hope you found meaning and nourishment in
body, mind and spirit this past Thanksgiving. May we all experiment
with thoughts and actions that help us live in more equitable
relationship with ourselves, others, and our planet.
