The Medicines Are Our Family with Edna Manitowabi
Water after polution😅🤔🥺
God thank you for water ❤😅
Thank you for the story and the videos ❤
I bet that deer didn’t think you were being “kind”
I'm guessing you didn't intend for this video to begin with an ad for imperial oil. Isn't there anything we can do about CZcamss choice of ads?
My father told me story's about Nanabush. When I was a little kid. Yet I know so little about nanabush. I know he was both body and spirit to a point he can change his appearance at will. But he was known as a trickster amongst the Ojibwa tales.

I have always had a strong attraction to water, especially springs, and felt such a need to protect it, that I became a hydrogeologist. A rare female in a field dominated by men. For me, it was not academic. I had to give groundwater a voice. My professional reason was to conserve water for everyone to have access to it, but my private reason was my respect for water and all it gives us. When a spring dies, so does the community it supported; plant/animal/human. I have innately felt so much of what you put to words in such a beautiful way. Thank you. 🥲
what a treasure. thank you so very much.
Thank you Edna Bjess you !

Beautiful ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom 🙏
Oh my! I’ve been hearing drums! So glad I was lead to this video
I was invited to attend a baby naming ceremony to say my own prayers for my children. i am part ojibwe, french and english. My ancestors were at white earth in minnesota. My great great grandfather was the chief. I dont know the story as its kinda taboo talk in my family back then. Anyways, my children were taken by the state and we exposed alot of corruption in our case. We did a hunger strike on our capitol steps for 38 days i think. To my husband and i it was a public fast. Pleading to God for our children. There was this native kickapoo man who used to come up and mostly watch and sometimes ask questions. One day as it was really busy and we had a team of people that participated. I put a cigarette out in an almost empty water bottle. now as i did this i noticed a painful type grimace come across his face. i asked if he was ok. head looking down he said i shouldnt be so careless. He looked up at me and said water is very sacred. I was a little stunned but apologized for offending him. He said we should respect water and talked on as he explained a few points. i cant remember WHAT he said but i remember later on after the native man left i kept thinking about the things he said. i glanced over at the water bottle and felt so sad that i ruined the water. i went and took that bottle and i watered a nearby shrub saying a small prayer. this same man returned for many days and one day invited me to a baby naming ceremony. He was the drummer. The next morning after it was over an elder came to me as i was fleeing to my car. i was sick had a headache all night no sleep and most of the group did not want me or like me being there. i had even accidentally tainted a womans kitchen because i entered it asking if i could help. i did not know i wasnt allowed. The elders were nice and my native friend was there. I also had my eldest child who was 23 at the time. So i stayed but was really ready to get back to my husband. An elder did tell me i would get my kids back. I dont know what happened but it was crazy when i returned. My husband was out of his mind, fleeing from unseen forces. i cant tell you what happened but i can tell you that it was demonic and life threatening. It had to do with a group of VERY powerful people and politics. It just gets crazier but i end up being given reprieve at a monestary in the mountains. this particular place was surrounded by water! I had to drive through water in order to even enter.I prayed and pleaded and cried out to God Jesus and all creation. There everything shifted. We went back to our case and it was a different tune. Everthing changed to our favor. We got our kids back and went back to the monastary to say thanks as a family for my prayers being answered. I respect water now. Not only do i respect it i understand why its so sacred. ive also learned much more about the teachings of ojibwe and my ancestors. It has even changed my extended family. Where these things used to be taboo and they didnt like to think that it mattered to be native american. As a matter of fact our town was pretty racist toward my family. By my generation though it was forgotten because of our pale skin and blonde hair. On my protest for my children i met a woman named willow moon that i was related to and david gaskin was also a relative. He came to my protest not knowing but after he reviewed my family history and blood quantum paperwork he said we were both related to the fairbanks. Pretty cool how i met relatives from afar through this. He held a prayer circle and smudged us. I really appreciated him being there. I am amazed at all i have learned and been through. All because of one painfilled grimace. thanks Johnny if you ever read this. I still often think of you!!
Eya, Water is Life ❤

We are all native to earth. We all were born on earth.
I appreciate this creation story. The garden one with its forbidden fruit does not really resonate with my spirit. Thanks for sharing.🙏
So very beautiful. Deep wisdom imbues all ancient cultures and their traditions, across the world. In my own culture - not as rich in water resources as Turtle Island! - the Koran (for Muslims the word of God) reminds us "and out of water We have created every living thing..." (surat al anbiya' 30). Without it, no life. So why are we so busily fiddling with and damaging it, slowly but surely destroying every living thing? Mankind can be so forgetful! A heartfelt salute to all who still remember the wisdom of the ancestors.

Thank you! I’m so grateful for you.
Edna I feel the same way about plants. But I’m not native n I don’t know about medicinal of plants. But at one time when I lived in the city. My neighbor cut down a very old BIG tree because she got tired of cleaning up after her. I cried n moved ASAP now I live in the second highest hill in my county. On 5 acres surrounded by trees a small pond a ravine with an 80 foot drop waterfall in it, and I am much happier. If I hear one car, I call it a traffic jam and lots of mother nature, foxes eagles, dear possums, etc. I am almost 70 went n got my checkup. N they didn’t find nothing is wrong. Came out with normal on all the tests. And I attributed to living in harmony with mother, nature out here in a beautiful realm.no drama no stress. Just love and harmony. I do ask for blessings from all I eat and drink. And many blessings I ask for u. Thank u for teaching us. ( white eyes LMAO 🤣) ❤️😊🌲

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for the beautiful teaching. Water sister
A very moving presentation about our connection to Moon Mother, and to ourselfs as human beings . Miigwetch.
Can you use water for traveling to past lives or for experiencing visions?
Thank you
Very beautiful! Thank you ❤
the one thing I dont like about native stories and culture is the lack of equality for men. Makes the whole thing ever so sexist and downright hateful towards men.
