Audrey Shenandoah spoke in Jan 1990… “we are faced with crucial times today. Changes need to be made beginning now, for our life-support system is being severely abused and mismanaged. Many people of peace have been persecuted through the centuries. I believe that the time of persecution has passed. The energies of the people are now being directed in search of ways to save Mother Earth. The founder of the Haudenosaunee, the Peacemaker, intended that there be social justice in the world. NO MAN WAS TO BE MORE PRIVILEGED THEN ANY OTHER MAN. All were to be respected. A healthy human mind respects the gifts of life— all nature gives life. There is no word for “nature” in the Haudenosaunee language. Nature, in English, seems to refer to that which is separate from human beings. It is a distinction we don’t recognize. It is foolish arrogance for humans to think themselves superior to all the life-support system. HOW CAN ONE BE SUPERIOR TO THAT WHICH ONE DEPENDS ON FOR LIFE? We must prioritize life-supporting systems and to question its commitment to materialism. SPIRITUALITY SHOULD BE OUR FOUNDATION.”

LET US FOLLOW THE PEACEMAKER.
