Water Teaching with Edna Manitowabi

[@rosarygiddings3876]

Water is also a natural “barrier “ where certain things can not cross it. When my soul struggles. I go to the water to rest. 😊🙏

[@AdelaideKweyama]

Outstanding presentation of water 💦 ❤❤❤❤❤

[@JesusOwns]

I love this woman. She reminds me a lot of my Mom. She speaks with such passion of our Mother Earth. Simply beautiful.

[@debrahorn1938]

No matter our ethnicity, we are of the earth. We are of the water. We are one in love and respect. Thank you for your wise words. They lifted my spirit and blessed my day.

[@mariedavies5147]

Thank you 💕 so beautiful

[@donnac5857]

Thank you for this beautiful learning, it's an honor.

[@amandaheiser8587]

This video is an eye opener. Edna does an amazing job of explaining the power of water and nature itself. It’s sad that Indigenous people were treated so badly by the government and the Europeans, we could have learned a lot from them. It’s not too late, learn from them, change the way you treat nature and water and see what happens. Thank you Edna!

[@Freebirdshearth]

I agree with you from my heart.

[@valpete5251]

MIIGWECH Edna 💖🤗

[@amandaheiser8587]

I think you misread my response, I said “It’s NOT too late”… it’s never too late!

[@MamaFirehorse5]

Yes, we all are responsible for taking care of the waters not only around us in all directions, but also within us.

[@DebEDee]

Thank you Edna. This is beautiful and I am learnng a lot from you! I very much appreciate you sharing this precious knowledge.

[@evilbarbie2160]

Your talk about the birth of a child especially moved me to tears. Honoring all life and our children. Thank you for sharing.

[@susannavanbaaren939]

Love to you Edna Manitowabi🩵🌿💚🕊 Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Wisdom is universal but so many have lost their pureness... We have to return to that to heal ourselves and our beautiful planet. Love from the Netherlands🌿🌿🌿

[@runeguidanceofthenorse]

I love her so much.

[@melissamarie369]

Thank you for the teachings of the sacredness of water, the healing vibrations of the drum, and the power of the human voice. Many teachers speak of the power of water: Masaru Emoto, Jacques Benveniste, Luc Montagnier, and now I hear you and your wisdom. So grateful for your sharing of indigenous knowledge. What a beautiful time to be here on Earth!

[@MellovesYah]

Absolutely Beautiful!! In my extra biblical studies the Moon and water are so very important and aligns with everything you are saying. Mayim in Hebrew is Water and Sha-Mayin means "the Heavens". And the Moon is she and the Sun He.... She is a water bearer as woman is the life bringer. In Hebrew Hauva or Eve means (the first woman) "life giver". Just like the Ruah ha qodesh the Spirit of the Living YahUah is She. The teacher, the comforter Wisdom and life giver....She is the breath over the water.

[@JessicaMilburn-n7y]

I'm in ah of you maam.wow

[@CanadianDivergent]

My Spirit name is Nii'bi Ninni (water-Man). I live here. This is the 4th great stopping place of our people. The water here, surrounding the island is Spcial water, since it is healing water. I spend most of my summer in this water. Literally. I am so grateful that I am able to be in this water. I drink it, I feel that Joy of the life spirit when i am in it. So I am a protector of the water and all of the Ayaag( beings) that live in it. I know that the woman is usually the one who does this, but my way is to be in the water. I learned to swim by watching the Orca. and the Nigig(otter). So I honour those beings when I swim.

[@WillwoodYards]

Thank you for sharing your words and ways, Edna. Thank you Louella for sharing the powerful sounds of the water drum. I am saddened to hear people in your lands are thirsty without clean water. May God be with your people and may he bless and cleanse his sacred waters of mother earth.

[@TheWiseman1958]

Many blessings to you ,as a story teller your blessed with the memories of all creations awho

[@adampetrie621]

I have first nation forefathers of Turtle island, Lakota Teton..I live in Australia, I can still remember the feelings that resonated through me the very first time I heard the didgeridoo. Every hair on my body rose, still to this day I love hearing the songs and seeing the traditional dancers of first nation Australia. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that first nation people of Turtle island and the indigenous peoples of Australia have a lot in common, one of the things in common is the sacredness of water..

[@Harmonica.Mike.64]

Miigwetch for these beautiful teachings.

[@zeropointconsciousness]

The story of the Fisherman is the exact same as my own story...a Nature Spirit in the form of a beautiful Maiden stepped out from behind the (not particularly wide) tree as thanks for looking after the land, the trees and the birds...Chi Miigwetch 💚

[@karenthomas6737]

Thank you for the blessings and the beautiful water drum!!! WOW🥰💖🙏❤️

[@navehschwab7013]

I was invited to attend a baby naming ceremony to say my own prayers for my children. i am part ojibwe, french and english. My ancestors were at white earth in minnesota. My great great grandfather was the chief. I dont know the story as its kinda taboo talk in my family back then. Anyways, my children were taken by the state and we exposed alot of corruption in our case. We did a hunger strike on our capitol steps for 38 days i think. To my husband and i it was a public fast. Pleading to God for our children. There was this native kickapoo man who used to come up and mostly watch and sometimes ask questions. One day as it was really busy and we had a team of people that participated. I put a cigarette out in an almost empty water bottle. now as i did this i noticed a painful type grimace come across his face. i asked if he was ok. head looking down he said i shouldnt be so careless. He looked up at me and said water is very sacred. I was a little stunned but apologized for offending him. He said we should respect water and talked on as he explained a few points. i cant remember WHAT he said but i remember later on after the native man left i kept thinking about the things he said. i glanced over at the water bottle and felt so sad that i ruined the water. i went and took that bottle and i watered a nearby shrub saying a small prayer. this same man returned for many days and one day invited me to a baby naming ceremony. He was the drummer. The next morning after it was over an elder came to me as i was fleeing to my car. i was sick had a headache all night no sleep and most of the group did not want me or like me being there. i had even accidentally tainted a womans kitchen because i entered it asking if i could help. i did not know i wasnt allowed. The elders were nice and my native friend was there. I also had my eldest child who was 23 at the time. So i stayed but was really ready to get back to my husband. An elder did tell me i would get my kids back. I dont know what happened but it was crazy when i returned. My husband was out of his mind, fleeing from unseen forces. i cant tell you what happened but i can tell you that it was demonic and life threatening. It had to do with a group of VERY powerful people and politics. It just gets crazier but i end up being given reprieve at a monestary in the mountains. this particular place was surrounded by water! I had to drive through water in order to even enter.I prayed and pleaded and cried out to God Jesus and all creation. There everything shifted. We went back to our case and it was a different tune. Everthing changed to our favor. We got our kids back and went back to the monastary to say thanks as a family for my prayers being answered. I respect water now. Not only do i respect it i understand why its so sacred. ive also learned much more about the teachings of ojibwe and my ancestors. It has even changed my extended family. Where these things used to be taboo and they didnt like to think that it mattered to be native american. As a matter of fact our town was pretty racist toward my family. By my generation though it was forgotten because of our pale skin and blonde hair. On my protest for my children i met a woman named willow moon that i was related to and david gaskin was also a relative. He came to my protest not knowing but after he reviewed my family history and blood quantum paperwork he said we were both related to the fairbanks. Pretty cool how i met relatives from afar through this. He held a prayer circle and smudged us. I really appreciated him being there. I am amazed at all i have learned and been through. All because of one painfilled grimace. thanks Johnny if you ever read this. I still often think of you!!

[@kellebelle9414]

[@mirian593]

Iam so glad to hear this beautiful lady telling us she feels the earth are shifting, the Mother Earth is crying out for us to wake up and do something, it has been too long since the darkness took place. Enough is enough.

[@Melissa-k3z]

That's Beautiful that her imbilical cord was buried there and she's still there.

Wonderful to hear Edna's voice and to receive this lesson.

[@ruhied957]

I feel i have arrived.. like your drumming experience. I am in tears .. uncontrolled beautiful and greatful.. i hope one day i can lear more from you to carry the flam❤e

[@brianperkins6121]

Thank you for sharing , our culture is coming back into contact with artistic layers of powerful strong reflection upon these deep layers ,, "The Way of Water" has no Beginning and No end. The Sea is around you and in you, The sea is your home , Before your Birth and after your Death. Our Hearts Beat in the Womb of the world. Our Breath burns in the shadows of the deep. The sea gives and the sea takes. Water connects "all" things. Life to death , Darkness to Light . The Global reactive internal response to these layers of "refection" a lot deeper into the core internal layers of history in ways I have not seen but many people seem to be strongly internally aware of .

[@carmenlucaciu2617]

Thank you for sharing and for the teaching ❤

[@Taury-k7s]

It's just so healing listening to you. So enlightening!

[@JessicaMilburn-n7y]

A spring opened up near where id bath and do laundry and pray. On the hill up there is a natural person and bison in knott on the tree...and the trunk is a man, his head is under the dirt, a big hole wound but not a the way threw is in his back, that's what I call land...L and. Get it? Couldn't we make that reason to do something and claim or free that land? It don't happen everyday and these are too low to see reason celebrate. The most beautiful song never stops there now..its on ringtail road I used to live there in Catawba county. So good is I'm so honored to hear her song.

[@Karentaylor-s6h]

How lucky are we that the antiseptic herbs such as lavendar lemon balm and garlic and the cleanings herbs such as yarrow were used for healing..

[@whirlingsu1]

Thank you Edna Manitowabi! This “being in relation”, is profound and can effect all our relationships by allowing us to listen and have patience, tough for many of us, and an unfamiliar reverence for our earth and for each other. Thank you This being in relation can move us towards activism- marching, writing to our representatives, voting, to practice this reverence. Thank you 🙏

[@leontypaul2427]

After studying about how everything came to be, yes our ancestors new all along, even here in alaska, I'm an alaska native and my grandfather use to tell me what our ancestors called the creator of the universe, ellam yua, meaning universal being, and he said that they use to look to the east, cause that's where His rays come from, and that's where Jesus will first appear in the sky.

[@leontypaul2427]

Oh yaa, and we have native dances, the drums are his heart beat and anyone dancing is His motion, and with dance festivities they worshiped His.

[@CJJohnson-tt6xs]

Cj I really do believe water can be sacred.

[@giseladearmas9221]

Thank you so much for sharing the blessings of water. Water that I love so much respect with much gratitude, I truly believe that water’s heals our body if is need it. I speak with the water I drink sea water play with the water and hug the water! God blessed you all!

[@TheMysticWildFlower]

I once had a pdf book about water from the Canadian govt. I got it online. It spoke of birth. There was a turtle in the front cover I think. I wish I still had it.

[@GohaAesop-wellmet]

So very beautiful. Deep wisdom imbues all ancient cultures and their traditions, across the world. In my own culture - not as rich in water resources as Turtle Island! - the Koran (for Muslims the word of God) reminds us "and out of water We have created every living thing..." (surat al anbiya' 30). Without it, no life. So why are we so busily fiddling with and damaging it, slowly but surely destroying every living thing? Mankind can be so forgetful! A heartfelt salute to all who still remember the wisdom of the ancestors.

[@beckiej.morris8471]

I have always had a strong attraction to water, especially springs, and felt such a need to protect it, that I became a hydrogeologist. A rare female in a field dominated by men. For me, it was not academic. I had to give groundwater a voice. My professional reason was to conserve water for everyone to have access to it, but my private reason was my respect for water and all it gives us. When a spring dies, so does the community it supported; plant/animal/human. I have innately felt so much of what you put to words in such a beautiful way. Thank you. 🥲
