We are here to remind each other, to remember,<br />

that we are all descendents of the first Earth People;<br />

people who are aware that we all have the same Mother, Earth.<br />

We were taught how to walk gently upon our Mother,<br />

with awareness <strong>and</strong> respect <strong>and</strong> reverence for the life force,<br />

the energy that She provides for our health <strong>and</strong> happiness.<br />

No one is excluded from enjoying the beauty of her gifts<br />

in the air, water, food, medicine <strong>and</strong> resources for clothing, shelter<br />

<strong>and</strong> our way of life.<br />

However, many have taken more than they need<br />

<strong>and</strong> almost everyone has forgotten the necessity of giving back the<br />

thanks <strong>and</strong> gratitude necessary<br />

to maintain the balance of energy.<br />

Our responsibility is to teach our children how to walk gently<br />

<strong>and</strong> they will teach the next generation.<br />
