Voices for Mother Earth

AS WATER FLOWS FROM GENERA TION TO GENERATION, SO THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR
WOMEN TO BE KEEPERS OF THE WATER FLOWS FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT.

-Great Lakes Regional Indigenous Environmental Network would like to extend
an invitation to all traditional women on Turtle Island to unite in prayer
for the water. The water is getting sick from the poisons being dumped into
her from industry across Turtle Island. The Colonial governments do not
recognize the importance of the water to all creation. There is a real
threat that the bulk export and/or sale of the water will begin soon.

WHEN: December 22, 1999
Full Moon and Winter Solstice
WHERE: In your own community

What you can do: Organize an event in your community such as grandmother
Moon ceremony, community womenís gathering, Elder/Youth Day o sharing, or
other gathering that your community chooses to put together. Some people may
choose to do individual prayer and that is fine.
