All of those Nations that built whole civilizations around food and around thanksgiving and around spiritual law, those Nations have to resurge and have to remind one another how important that is. All communities talk about prayer. We just don’t call it prayer, but we do it all the time. We sing songs, dawn songs, morning ceremonies, thanksgiving-coming-up-soon-songs. Thanksgiving all summer, all spring. All of our ceremonies are thanksgiving. We have thanksgiving twelve months a year. In the spring when the sap runs through the trees, we have ceremonies, thanksgiving. For the maple , chief of the trees, leader of all the trees, thanksgiving. Thanksgiving for all the trees. Planting thanksgiving. Thanksgiving for the strawberries , first fruit. Thanksgiving for the bees, the corn, green corn, thanksgiving. Harvest thanksgiving...How do you inspire respect for something? By giving thanks, by doing it. - Chief Oren Lyons https://youtube/watch?v=oHv6vTKD6lg
