AS ÁRVORES e os LIVROS: Ohén:ton Karihwatéhkwen

We now turn to all the Medicine Herbs of the world. From the beginning, they were instructed to take away sickness. They are always waiting and ready to heal us. We are happy there are still among us those special few who remember how to use these plants for healing. With one mind, we send greetings and thanks to the Medicines and to the keepers of the Medicines.

Retirado do livro Ohén:ton Karihwatéhkwen (Thanksgiving Address) das populações indígenas do norte do estado de Nova Iorque e Canada conhecidas pelo nome Haudenosaunee. Este livro tem raízes muito antigas, com mais de mil anos.
