Our world,
our broken down,
drained,
haggard earth
cries out for renewal,
healing and reform.
Beneficial action is needed amongst the divine feminine First Nations of Earth.
Manifesto of Matriarchs is a creative arena predominantly for the revival of First Nations' women’s voices. We honor our Matriarchs, and humbly promote the documentation of their voices as that they hold the knowledge and wisdom of our people, our lands and territorial boundaries. We hope to one day have their voices and knowledge documented. We know ancestral knowledge is a responsibility to be held in high regard and respect.
We ask the mothers, the indigenous divine feminine of this world to speak out with their voices. We ask them to come together to create a vision of the future with us together, so that the people and the Earth can be healed.
We begin by asking First Nations women and Matriarchs,
and those that identify with the Divine Feminine, how they came to use their voices, why they use their voices, and ask them what and if, they are receiving information from something outside of themselves?
How we do this: We must sympathetically capture our intuition and vision without disrupting our busy lives, through quiet meditation, ceremony, ritual, forest visits, dream logging, and envisioning.
With years of Colonialization for First Nations Women, we have been marginalized and silenced and told that our word is not valid.
The indigenous only got the right to vote in 1960.
We have been working to the bone, standing up for our rights, standing up for the Earth and our communities, taking care of our children, paying our bills, and somehow we are left short in a system that is failing us.
We must speak from our hearts and our intuition and by capturing that into words, we will create a document that will change the world. A document that can be referenced and used, going forward to protect our people, the Earth and,
all of Humanity.
It will be an important sacred document of vision, formulated and projected by Matriarchs and Women of First Nations' ancestry. Firstly, I would like you to witness our envisioning process by listening to the recordings. It may take a little time, not too much though. Together we will feel and weave our way, and trust our intuitions and the creator to guide us all.
Our ultimate purpose is to restore the Matriarchs and the Hereditary chiefs back into governance over our land. We have witness devastation of society by technology, the legislation of acts, marginalization, and destruction mother earth by clear-cut logging which will lead to our extinction.
We believe that we need to restore balance to our earth for our survival. I would ask you to join us in our movement to return the power of the Matriarchs to steward the lands, along side the Hereditary chiefs, and restore balance to our Mother Earth.
