WE ARE THIRTEEN INDIGENOUS GRANDMOTHERS who came together
for the first time from October 11 through October 17,
2004, in Phoenicia, New York. We gathered from the four
directions in the land of the people of the Iroquois
Confederacy. We come here from the Amazon rainforest, the
Arctic circle of North America, the great forest of the
American northwest, the vast plains of North America, the
highlands of central America, the Black Hills of South
Dakota, the mountains of Oaxaca, the desert of the American
southwest, the mountains of Tibet and from the rainforest
of Central Africa.
Affirming our relations with traditional medicine peoples
and communities throughout the world, we have been brought
together by a common vision to form a new global alliance.
We are the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous
Grandmothers. We have united as one. Ours is an alliance of
prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all Her
inhabitants, all the children and for the next seven
generations to come.
We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction
of our Mother Earth, the contamination of our air, waters
and soil, the atrocities of war, the global scourge of
poverty, the threat of nuclear weapons and waste, the
prevailing culture of materialism, the epidemics which
threaten the health of the Earth's peoples, the
exploitation of indigenous medicines, and with the
destruction of indigenous ways of life.
We, the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous
Grandmothers, believe that our ancestral ways of prayer,
peacemaking and healing are vitally needed today. We come
together to nurture, educate and train our children. We
come together to uphold the practice of our ceremonies and
affirm the right to use our plant medicines free of legal
restriction. We come together to protect the lands where
our peoples live and upon which our cultures depend, to
safeguard the collective heritage of traditional medicines,
and to defend the earth Herself. We believe that the
teachings of our ancestors will light our way through an
uncertain future.
We join with all those who honor the Creator, and to all
who work and pray for our children, for world peace, and
for the healing of our Mother Earth.
For all our relations.
