A Timeless Celebration of the Spirit of Nature
For as long as anyone can remember, Mohawk parents have taught their children to start each day by giving thanks to Mother Earth. Also known as the Thanksgiving Address, this good morning message is based on the belief that the natural world is a precious and rare gift. The whole universe - from the highest stars to the tiniest blade of grass - is addressed as one great family.
Now readers of all ages can share in this tribute to the environment, adapted especially for children by Chief Jake Swamp, whose efforts to share this vision of thanksgiving take him all over the world. A traditional Iroquois celebration of the beauty and spirit of Mother Earth, as told by a contemporary Mohawk chief, Giving Thanks is a timeless celebration of the spirit of nature.
Chief Swamp's inspirational message, along with Erwin Printup, Jr.'s unforgettable landscapes, make this book a unique and powerful exploration of the deep connection between humanity and the natural world. Through his words and the stunning illustrations, readers are invited to experience the Iroquois tradition of acknowledging and honoring the gifts of the earth, from the air we breathe to the water we drink.
The Thanksgiving Address is a living tradition, passed down through generations, that reminds us to approach the world with reverence and gratitude. By sharing this message with children, Chief Swamp hopes to inspire a new generation to appreciate the sacredness of nature and to develop a profound respect for the delicate balance of the earth.
In Giving Thanks, readers will embark on a journey that celebrates the interconnectedness of all living things. They will be encouraged to pause, to reflect, and to cultivate a deep sense of appreciation for the abundance and beauty that surrounds us. This book is a timeless reminder that by honoring the earth, we honor ourselves and our place within the great family of the natural world.
Through the powerful words and stunning visuals, Giving Thanks invites readers to connect with the Iroquois tradition of thanksgiving, to see the world through the eyes of the Mohawk people, and to embrace the profound wisdom that emerges from a deep reverence for Mother Earth. This book is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Iroquois people and a call to all of us to cherish and protect the remarkable gifts of our shared planet.
