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.

Beautiful way to give thanks for being alive. Short enough to listen to daily. Read aloud in English and kaniakehaka (Mohawk). Soothing sounds of Native American flute plays in the background.

worth listening to every morning

This is a beautiful rendition, with nature sounds and music, of the traditional thanks prayer of the Six Nations. The book lists these Nations of Native Americans and features narration by Chief Jake Swamp. This thanks prayer is a lovely way to start the day- narrated in a musical Mohawk language at the end.
