The Seven Nokomis (Grandmother) Teachings

Humility ~ As we enter our space to be in union with our Creator and Mother Earth we open our inner doorway to our own sacredness which is even beyond our understanding.
Honesty ~ The butterfly teaches us life is a continuous metamorphosis. If we are honest with ourselves removing our own caterpillar guise, we too can become free, free as the butterfly.
Wisdom ~ The turtle teaches us wisdom. We seek wisdom from our elders but yet sometimes wisdom comes through a child if we remain open to hear the voice of our youth.
Respect ~ The fire teaches us respect. We can cook our food. It lights up our night. But fire can also destroy if proper care is not given.
Love ~ Who better to teach us about love than a child. With their hand reaching out to us, they accept us in their unconditional love."
Bravery ~ The hummingbird teaches us of bravery. She will go up against a bear if the bear is threatening her babies. The hummingbird will attack the bear with her long needle-like beak until the bear retreats."
Truth ~ The Eagle has become our symbol for truth and strength. Therefore holding an eagle feather in our hand gives us a huge responsibility for our voice.
