International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers

WE, THE
INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF THIRTEEN INDIGENOUS GRANDMOTHERS, represent a global
alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all Her
inhabitants, all the children, and for the next seven generations to come. We
are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth
and the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of
our ancestors will light our way through an uncertain future. We look to
further our vision through the realization of projects that protect our
diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer
and through projects that educate and nurture our children.
