I would like to post some words meaningful to me.

I found them in the book: "Mission" by Roger G. Kennedy and published by Houghton Mifflin, 1993.

There is a copy in the Escondido, CA Public Library collection--thanks!

"Now our words we direct to our Mother Earth, who supports all life...we include all plant life, the woodlands, all the waters of Earth, the fishes, the animal life, and the Four Winds. As one mind our acknowledgment, respect, and thanksgiving move upward to the Sky World; the Grandmother Moon, who has a direct relationship to the females of all species of living things, the sun and the stars and our Spiritual Beings of the Sky World..."

(Audrey Shenandoah, Onandaga at the Global Forum on Environment and Development for Survival in Moscow, Russia, January, 1990.)
