About

I am an artist, poet, writer, healer, feminist, humanist, environmentalist, healer, sage, hermit, medicine womyn, creator, visionary and a friend. 

I believe in living the truth and not just talking about it. I believe in peace is something that we can create with our every step. I believe we must heal the war within before we can heal the outer war. I am for all human rights~womyn, children, men, elders, diasbled, GLBT, etc. I am for healing and being evolutionary in all our thoughts and words. I am for using my voice and my power to make creative positive social and environmental change no matter how small I think the impact may be. My main causes that I support are: indigenous womans rights, womans rights, native land rights and environmentalism. I believe that change can occur and we are in charge of healing this world.

The land is life! This stems from my Ojibway heritage and my love and respect for the land. I love the Earth and enjoy my deep friendship with her. She offers me comfort when I need it and unconditional love always. I love the animals, rocks, plants, trees, rivers and lakes. I have always found that my greatest counselor has and always will be Mother Earth.


Some of my favorite quotes...

"Hear me, my chiefs.  I am tired.  My heart is sick and sad.  From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."~Cheif Joseph~ 

"Sacred One, teach us love, compassion, honor, that we may heal the Earth, and heal each other."~Ojibway Prayer

Cecelia,

I'm a new member of Wiser Earth and appreciate such groups as they give us inspiration and hope. I was born in Michigan and moved to Colorado about 25 years ago. Perhaps you can give me some insight with your background. Was Hiawatha Ojibwa or Chippewa? Do you know of any 'good' literature on Hiawatha's history other than the poem, 'The Song of Hiawatha'? I am working on a book (taking a lot of time) and want to get the details right.

The Dakota, Lakota, Nakota people here often end their prayers and meetings with the words "Mitakua Oyasin" (I might have misspelled that), which translates "We are all related". Thanks in advance.



Respectfully,

Ken Terry
