[@melmartinez3180]

I don't know how these elders do it...they have a way to calm my rage. Thank you for your message and your voice.

[@lindamceachern5832]

Love from a white grandmother who doesn’t know where she belongs but here now. I understand you. Namaste 🙏

[@rockwarrior5287]

When we hear or experience our grandmothers crying I think that would make any of us cry with them for weactualky feel their heartbreak as they share their concern for our world!

[@servantofthegreatiamloving2113]

Even this day, as the tears run down my face for the pain and suffering of the earth. We are patiently waiting for the day the earth will rest from the destruction around the world..also we are suffering along with the earth. The frequency of earth is Loving kindness

[@lightheartedstar]

Women are sacred and Grandmothers are women with wisdom of experience. The divine feminine is very important and needs to be remembered ......... the power of a mother is never ending in this world , the Earth is all of lifes' Mother here on this planet , she must be respected too ..............it is good , it is right to be respectful of all life .............

[@aneelamahmud1806]

These grandmothers have the wisdom to do what is right for life on earth. We can no longer tolerate the financial and foolish politicians and elites to run this ship! Our world is headed for destruction if they continue to prioritize their views and aims. Please help us pacha mama! The few insane are causing suffering for majority-- help us to regain our bearings toward a future that supports all life on earth. Living and thriving in harmony and mutual respect. Life is sacred - has no price, not cheap❤😢

[@rockwarrior5287]

This is amazing What an honor to be able to soak in this wisdom from these beautiful women who are giving us their precious time in hopes that we innerstand this so we can pass it on! Much love and respect to all our grandmother's! You truly are a gift

[@4evercree]

This was a moving presentation. Wisdom from the Elders. We do not honor our elders in this society. Thank You Grandmothers every where My Heart is with you.

[@constancewalsh3646]

Voices of mothers, grandmothers , nurturers of children, care-takers of the earth - talking in simple words - of food, of a river, of planting, of the goings on in a typical family day. Nowhere did we hear of money, of higher education, of new cars. Nothing but the most vital and basic ingredients for life - good food! clean water! caring for children, animals, men. Who weep over the suffering of any child. I am listening to voices shaking with age, strong with age, saying things so ordinary, like women talking, as we do, and I cannot stop listening. Where are the soft-bosomed mothers of yesterday? all the energy has gone from the heart and up into the head. As long as there are earth-mothers there will be healthy ground to stand on. There are a few still with us, in villages and pueblos of the world. Thank you for sharing this video that I can watch and listen to, and feel the Faith, at any time. Peace and blessings to every one of us, and courage.

[@kurtbogle2973]

There being no creature that isn't made of the Earth Mother. We are all responsible for the wellbeing of each other. Love and kindness are more powerful than violence. We must exercise more love and kindness.

[@kelusitepitbeautifulwoman4154]

This is awesome. My kiju went to spirit World 2012 . Ever since I regret i didnt ask her more. I took for granted, & believed she wouldnt ever be gone. She raised me, Im greatful, bec i speak our language fluently. Now I try to record and share as much Mikmaq as I can possibly speak. Immersion teaches it in school but they also need to hear it at home, with friends. And my dream more on their phones & computers. You dont have to be teacher in classroom to pass the Language down. Welalin Thank you!

[@galleryhall]

I am so honored to have listened to these beautiful souls, and believe wholeheartedly believe in their mission and teachings. Thank you for your generous souls, your knowledge and sharing. Blessed be your path now and the future road upon which you travel.

[@browneyesbeautiful3265]

Beautiful!! We Honor our Unci's and take in the wisdom from their hearts, into our hearts, so that it emanates throughout the very beautiful Mother Earth for positive change💖💚💖💚💖💚

[@laurietworek3457]

So many of us needed this loving instruction. Thieves attempted to destroy your knowledge, they prohibited ALL of us from learning of it, from benefitting of the knowledge. I really missed this, and always knew 'things were not right'. I never fit in with my forever revolving family. They couldn't understand that I saw things differently, and they still do not have the ability to think deeply.

[@amcreative3784]

Thankyou beautiful knowledge heart keepers for sharing what you know and helping our hearts to see our human selves who walk upon this earth. For helping to see it is the simple everyday interactions that help us to slow down enough to be able to live the truths of how live with Mother Earth, Grandfather Sun, our brothers and sisters who support us with water, food and the things that we need to be in this life is with each other. I love you for the path you all have chosen to walk and sharing your gifts of story with us. It does feel that I did get to walk with you for a short way on that path now having returned my sight from far away able to journey a little further. Thankyou for your gift master bead weaver. Much love Alie Marie.

[@heinzweilenmann8524]

[@kurtbogle2973]

There is many kinds of Beauty in the Universe! Grandmother's embody all beauty! The nurturers of all of the living!

[@garygerow4822]

It,s really nice to listen to elders , I don,t have to many left, my grand parents on both sides are gone , my father is gone . I do still have my mother. It,s special to hear their view points and knowledge .

[@dharajadeja4973]

Im lucky because i have gradma & she loves me a lot... she is 95 years old but very healthy & yes her advice is really precious!

[@Mary-wf4tb]

I want to watch this but can't right now with fam watching tv. Will get back to it. But I am the same, I've learned so much from grandmothers. My grandmother's words are there for me often on various subjects, guiding me. I learned to cook some family favorites from another gma. I love to hear the stories of old times, their memories. I love to look at old hands and wrinkled faces are the most beautiful!

[@laurietworek3457]

I'm sorry. Television is one of the reasons people are sleeping, hypnotized by lies.

[@goyajonkatewill7970]

Gary Gerow maybe turning the tv off may change your life and allow you to connect with life in a way you never though possible 💜🌟

[@bornjacquelinethebardschoo4405]

Original instruction ~ Give honor to life ~

[@hervelakotasunka2625]

It's so good to listen so deep sharing.Good for heart. Grandmothers are precious.

[@rachelwolff8507]

The message from each woman is important to remember ...

[@mikekavanagh8952]

Indigenous People should not be bullied by the American Government to give up their Water rights, Is this the new form of Genocide ,Where is the land of the free how can a government stand behind a flag that some many native Americans fought for and then Drive them once again off the desert lands that they lived in for centuries.

[@RiaSwiftHealing]

[@sal6423]

promises are nothing easily taken away with the wind. history has shown us this time and time again. Only a fool trips over the same rock twice.

[@42blackflag]

Peace to the Indigenous people's all over turtle island i'm a moor from these parts of america's of very dark skin complexion not a $5 dollar Indian like a lot of these Europeans making claim, that really needs to be spoken on by these thirteen indigenous grandmothers if they can tell the truth.

[@aseroyal4902]

A woman's role is equally important as a mans so why in this perfect creation should they be criticized for speaking.

[@elsakoster6537]

,,THANK YOU ALL,,

[@mariebutts1669]

How dreadful to be shunned from the land of my ancestors, I wonder where's the compassion in not allowing the descendants to claim what the ancestors have labored so hard for? (SAD)

[@BellaNoche100]

Thank you

[@amcreative3784]

Watch out for Nestle.

[@lauraavalos1209]

Did this bill pass? What is happening now that we can do to protect the people and the land of this area?

[@rudolphdumervil9540]

☀️

[@Nota769]

I’m having trouble with all the sadness in my heart for continued acts of destruction, aggression and control of the Native American peoples and any solution I’m learning over the years is masked in the further control and manipulation of the future generations as was done to the descendants of the African slaves. There is no winning the corporate American government . I feel resigned to say we can only do our best and accept that only our maker ( for me hakadosh Baruch hu) will deal with them based on universal laws of balance - you get what you give- but natural res sources are limited and our maker has allowed us free will and that same universal law can’t help us other than inspiration and the intellectual capacity to possible artificially create a substitute but clearly our government doesn’t care but I know we care . We don’t want our future generations to be without trees, natural water etc. may G-d bless us with solutions and barriers to anyone who doesn’t have omthe best interest of all

Brilliant! Speaker should try and calm down though!

[@batladybeequeen6998]

This comment was absolutely not needed. Standing on stage with all that power, I'd be nervous we well.

[@aloakhurst3043]

it is good

[@tjlightningbolt]

good thing Agnes Pilgrim (one of the 13 grandmothers) wasn't there! She ripped off Medicine Grizzly Bears wedding regalia! (after she performed there wedding!!!)

[@GattacaKain]

The federal government did a horrible thing by requiring schools to prohibit natives from speaking their own language. People have the right to choose how they educate others, and if a school wants to allow students to speak their language to one another, then that school should be allowed to do that. But, it is ironic that the second grandmother prohibited her grandchildren from using English when referring to her.

[@megansizemore5806]

They have NEVER kept a single promise why would anyone ever still do any sort of business with them ? ever period. NEVER give up the water never youll never see any of it and itll become poison in their hands. I pray to creator that NEVER happens

[@samha.oliooo]

Or ble den av.

[@gofiodetrigo8756]

drink some water! xD

[@samella35]

No African grandmother. She is the most indigenous One of them All.

[@AmerIndianWarrior]

Its a Native perspective Nzinga zindua I am sure Africans have theirs as well.

[@samella35]

I'm saying there should have foremost been a wise African Wombman, as she is the Mother of all humanity. Aza Alaayah. Overstand?

[@AmerIndianWarrior]

Well I don't know about the out of Africa theory as I do not accept it. I know of Turtle Island which is the source and the Motherland for all Native Americans. So they are speaking for Turtle Island which is the fountain of the Mother Earth.

[@samella35]

Check your Scientists. They'll tell you. I have no desire to convince the mis-educated.

[@AmerIndianWarrior]

Not my scientists theirs. Nobody is here to convince anyone we only share our thoughts.
