I believe in past lives. It makes sense to me. Not because I was raised to believe in them, but because something inside of me tells me it is true and because I remember past lives as easily as I remember my childhood. When I was young, my mother told me how my neighbor was nice to the mice in her garage because “she believes in this thing called reincarnation and she thinks the mice might be her dead relatives.” I remember looking out at my neighbor’s garage and telling myself that, while I really didn’t think the mouse in her garage was her dead uncle, the idea of living more than one life made sense to me. Later, when I was a mother myself, my 2-year-old daughter said to me from the back seat of the car, “You weren’t always my mom, the mom I had most is still in heaven.” She continued, “…and besides, I used to be the mom.” It is in a moment like this that a mother takes notice. I made a vow then and there to love, nurture, and guide her while always respecting the ancient wisdom of her soul. A couple of years later, again from the back seat of the car, I heard from the same sweet mouth, “Mom, did you know that some people don’t believe in past lives? Well that just makes no sense because they’ve all had them.” So I believe in past lives. It is natural for me to believe in them. However, I don’t think that one has to believe in past lives in order to...

Today, as we gather with our family and friends to celebrate and give thanks, lets take a moment to read the Iroquois Thanksgiving Address which is recited before every ceremony and every meeting held within the confederacy. THE IROQUOIS THANKSGIVING ADDRESS “Ohenton Kariwahtekwen” Today we have gathered and we see that the cycles of life continue. We have been given the duty to live in balance and harmony with each other and all living things. So now, we bring our minds together as one as we give greetings and thanks to each other as people. Now our minds are one. We are all thankful to our Mother, the Earth, for she gives us all that we need for life. She supports our feet as we walk about upon her. It gives us joy that she continues to care for us as she has from the beginning of time. To our mother, we send greetings and thanks. Now our minds are one. We give thanks to all the waters of the world for quenching our thirst and providing us with strength. Water is life. We know its power in many forms-waterfalls and rain, mists and streams, rivers and oceans. With one mind, we send greetings and thanks to the spirit of Water. Now our minds are one. We turn our minds to the all the Fish life in the water. They were instructed to cleanse and purify the water. They also give themselves to us as food. We are grateful that we can still find pure water. So, we turn now to the Fish and send our greetings and thanks....
