Editorial Review:
We are thirteen indigenous grandmothers. . . . We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth, the atrocities of war, the global scourge of poverty, the prevailing culture of materialism, the epidemics that threaten the health of the Earth’s peoples, and with the destruction of indigenous ways of life.We, the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, believe that our ancestral ways of prayer, peacemaking, and healing are vitally needed today. . . . We believe that the teachings of our ancestors will light our way through an uncertain future. In some Native American societies, tribal leaders consulted a council of grandmothers before making any major decisions that would affect the whole community. What if we consulted our wise women elders about the problems facing our global community today? This book presents the insights and guidance of thirteen indigenous grandmothers from five continents, many of whom are living legends among their own peoples. The Grandmothers offer wisdom on such timely issues as nurturing our families; cultivating physical and mental health; and confronting violence, war, and poverty. Also included are the reflections of Western women elders, including Alice Walker, Gloria Steinem, Helena Norberg-Hodge, and Carol Moseley Brown.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Grandmothers Council the World
An excellent presentation of the "Changing Times". The short autobiographies are enthralling. The stories of "how they came together is mythical in nature" Their warnings and solutions are interesting. Their ability to pray and ponder these issues is awesome. The book in some ways is simple and yet so true. Supplemental books of the new cosmology can detail the meaning for this century. A great read from wise women!
Rating: - An amazing reading
A must reading for one who wants to do something in his or her life to bring earth and humanity to the "paradise"...the "kingdom"..."heaven on earth community" that we were before and will be again.
Rating: - Great news
This is an amazing book. The women have so much experience and wisdom.
Presentation (photos and production) excellent. I look forward to a second book presenting deeper knowledge. Well done.
Rating: - Listen to the Grandmothers
Thirteen grandmothers from around the world joined together in October 2004 in Phoenicia, N.Y. in fulfillment of a long-standing prophecy. Their gathering was in response to a call to action from the Grandmothers of the Sprit World.
As a result of their meeting, they formed the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. The purpose of the Council is to use prayer, healing, ceremonies and plant medicine to stop the destruction of Mother Earth and to restore balance and harmony ... Read More
