Have you heard of the Thanksgiving address from the Iroquois or Haudenosaunee (hoe-dee-no-SHOW-nee) people? It is an allegiance to gratitude. Trina reads the Thanksgiving Address from the book Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Trina emphasizes our responsibility to be thankful, respectful and considerate of others, especially their cultures and practices. It is a time for healing, humbleness and gratitude.
