Honour Earth Mother was written in the hope that it would help restore some of the affection and reverence that the Indigenous people had for the land. For our ancestors the earth was a holy place, made so by the act of creation of the Great Mystery; it is the dwelling place of the manitous and spirits and is the repository of our grandparents’ bones. It is a place of revelation that has yielded all that men and women have come to know and still has more secrets and mysteries to pass on to those who watch and listen.

Honour Earth Mother is an invitation to go into the woods and meadow, mountains, valleys and seaside, to watch miracles unfold, to listen to nature’s symphonies, to feel the pulse of the earth, to take in the fragrances, to taste the nectars, and to sense the awesome.
