Ayla Schafer “Unci Maka (Grandmother Earth)“ With Sacred Water Tribe

The perfumed flowers are our sisters, the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers... all belong to the same family. For this land is sacred to us. This shining water that moves in streams and rivers is not just water but the blood of our ancestors… you must teach your children that it is sacred.
