The Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address

In her best-selling book Braiding Sweetgrass, Native American botanist and storyteller Robin Wall Kimmerer shares the Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse) "Thanksgiving Address." This prayer of thanksgiving is also known as "The Words That Come Before All Else." It is a community prayer of gratitude for the living Earth and her gifts, recited during ceremonies and gatherings. This prayer reminds us that our original purpose and agreement is to honor and respect the reciprocal cycle of give and take, for Mother Earth provides everything we need to live and flourish. We are meant to appreciate and respect all of life, for everything is interconnected, interdependent, and mutually supportive in the web of life. Because it helps the participants appreciate their interdependence with, and feel connected to, the web of life, the Haudenosaunee, out of their loving generosity, have given it to all of the people of the world to use.

Faithkeeper Oren Lyons, of the Onondaga Nation, one of the six nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, said about the ritual, "It's supposed to be shared, otherwise how can it work? We've been waiting for five hundred years for people to listen. If they'd understood the Thanksgiving then, we wouldn't be in this mess."

So when you read it with others, feel the gratitude in your heart for all of the world around us that gives us so much and allows us to live.

The Words That Come Before All Else

Today we have gathered and when we look upon the faces around us, 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 beings. So now, we bring our minds together as one as we give our greetings and our thanks to each other as People.
