The legend of Aataentsic

Summary

[edit]
Description

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

She goes by many name: “Pachamama” for South American Indians, “Gaia” in Greek mythology. “Terra Mater” in Roman myth, “Mahimata” in Hinduism’s Rid-Veda. “Eorban Modor” for Germanic and Northern peoples, and “Mother Earth” as named and celebrated by North America’s First Nations. She is universal and transcends nationalities and the ages, from Paleolithic to today. She is the basis for everything: living beings, plant life, minerals, textiles, technology, food.

Taking its cues from North American Aboriginal culture, Mother Earth was inspired by a speech reportedly delivered in 1854 by Chief Seattle during his meeting with then President of the United States Franklin Pierce on the occasion of the sale of native land to white settlers. His words capture the essence of the privileged relationship our continent’s first inhabitants maintain nature.
