Water is also a natural “barrier “ where certain things can not cross it. When my soul struggles. I go to the water to rest. 😊🙏
I love this woman. She reminds me a lot of my Mom. She speaks with such passion of our Mother Earth. Simply beautiful.
This video is an eye opener. Edna does an amazing job of explaining the power of water and nature itself. It’s sad that Indigenous people were treated so badly by the government and the Europeans, we could have learned a lot from them. It’s not too late, learn from them, change the way you treat nature and water and see what happens. Thank you Edna!

Yes, we all are responsible for taking care of the waters not only around us in all directions, but also within us.

Thank you Edna. This is beautiful and I am learnng a lot from you! I very much appreciate you sharing this precious knowledge.
No matter our ethnicity, we are of the earth. We are of the water. We are one in love and respect. Thank you for your wise words. They lifted my spirit and blessed my day.
That was fascinating - what a wonderful lady and teacher she is.
Your talk about the birth of a child especially moved me to tears. Honoring all life and our children. Thank you for sharing.
I TRULY ADMIRED THE WISDOMS OF THIS NOBLE BLESSED WOMAN.... MY MOTHER IN SPIRIT EVEN THOUGH I AM SIUOX'S INDIAN WE ARE ALL SISTER'S AN BROTHER'S IF THE FIRST OF THIS LAND!"🔥❤️🔥
Absolutely Beautiful!! In my extra biblical studies the Moon and water are so very important and aligns with everything you are saying. Mayim in Hebrew is Water and Sha-Mayin means "the Heavens". And the Moon is she and the Sun He.... She is a water bearer as woman is the life bringer. In Hebrew Hauva or Eve means (the first woman) "life giver". Just like the Ruah ha qodesh the Spirit of the Living YahUah is She. The teacher, the comforter Wisdom and life giver....She is the breath over the water.
Marvellous. What a wise woman you are. Infinite Gratitude for your teaching Edna.
I have first nation forefathers of Turtle island, Lakota Teton..I live in Australia, I can still remember the feelings that resonated through me the very first time I heard the didgeridoo. Every hair on my body rose, still to this day I love hearing the songs and seeing the traditional dancers of first nation Australia. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that first nation people of Turtle island and the indigenous peoples of Australia have a lot in common, one of the things in common is the sacredness of water..
Thank you for the blessings and the beautiful water drum!!! WOW🥰💖🙏❤️
Thank you for the knowledge of the elders of our ways
That's Beautiful that her imbilical cord was buried there and she's still there.
The story of the Fisherman is the exact same as my own story...a Nature Spirit in the form of a beautiful Maiden stepped out from behind the (not particularly wide) tree as thanks for looking after the land, the trees and the birds...Chi Miigwetch 💚
Wonderful to hear Edna's voice and to receive this lesson.
Beautiful ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom 🙏
I love this video and would like to apologize for how you were treated and it made you feel like you didn't fit in. You're a beautiful soul and your video touched me deeply! May the Creator of the Universe bless you!

I hung out there to...a time of waking.
I have always had a strong attraction to water, especially springs, and felt such a need to protect it, that I became a hydrogeologist. A rare female in a field dominated by men. For me, it was not academic. I had to give groundwater a voice. My professional reason was to conserve water for everyone to have access to it, but my private reason was my respect for water and all it gives us. When a spring dies, so does the community it supported; plant/animal/human. I have innately felt so much of what you put to words in such a beautiful way. Thank you. 🥲
🙏 so blessed to receive this wisdom. Thank you so much. X
Thank you for sharing , our culture is coming back into contact with artistic layers of powerful strong reflection upon these deep layers ,, "The Way of Water" has no Beginning and No end. The Sea is around you and in you, The sea is your home , Before your Birth and after your Death. Our Hearts Beat in the Womb of the world. Our Breath burns in the shadows of the deep. The sea gives and the sea takes. Water connects "all" things. Life to death , Darkness to Light . The Global reactive internal response to these layers of "refection" a lot deeper into the core internal layers of history in ways I have not seen but many people seem to be strongly internally aware of .
Namaypoks Nibi, MniWiconi. 🙏💓 The very water, and amount of water that has been on the Earth, is the same as the 'beginning', no alpha no omega. We have polluted the water, yet the pollutants remain separate.
Thank you Edna Manitowabi! This “being in relation”, is profound and can effect all our relationships by allowing us to listen and have patience, tough for many of us, and an unfamiliar reverence for our earth and for each other. Thank you This being in relation can move us towards activism- marching, writing to our representatives, voting, to practice this reverence. Thank you 🙏
It's just so healing listening to you. So enlightening!

Thank you for sharing such profound simplicity with so much heart
Soch truth and power runs through her words. I shiver in recognition of the truth in her.
After studying about how everything came to be, yes our ancestors new all along, even here in alaska, I'm an alaska native and my grandfather use to tell me what our ancestors called the creator of the universe, ellam yua, meaning universal being, and he said that they use to look to the east, cause that's where His rays come from, and that's where Jesus will first appear in the sky.

Oh yaa, and we have native dances, the drums are his heart beat and anyone dancing is His motion, and with dance festivities they worshiped His.
I once had a pdf book about water from the Canadian govt. I got it online. It spoke of birth. There was a turtle in the front cover I think. I wish I still had it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for the beautiful teaching. Water sister
Boozhoo/She:kon, miigwech/Nia:wen for sharing Edna's teachings in this format and through this channel. I feel so much gratitude for hearing some of these stories again and new ones. I especially love the story of the first treaty. What a beautiful teaching for our young mothers. May I inquire about who produced and directed this film? And audio work as well? Miigwech/Nia:wen, April
Chi-miigwech, thank you so so much for this video and all the people involved. I am just starting to reconnect with my heritage. I suffer with a lot of mental illness, social anxiety keeps me from attending the local culture nights here (and I am terrified of getting someone sick)
This was beautiful, thank you!!
Such a blessing 🌹
Eya, Water is Life ❤
Iam so glad to hear this beautiful lady telling us she feels the earth are shifting, the Mother Earth is crying out for us to wake up and do something, it has been too long since the darkness took place. Enough is enough.
you all are loved so much
So very beautiful. Deep wisdom imbues all ancient cultures and their traditions, across the world. In my own culture - not as rich in water resources as Turtle Island! - the Koran (for Muslims the word of God) reminds us "and out of water We have created every living thing..." (surat al anbiya' 30). Without it, no life. So why are we so busily fiddling with and damaging it, slowly but surely destroying every living thing? Mankind can be so forgetful! A heartfelt salute to all who still remember the wisdom of the ancestors.
Much honor 🙏🏿🙏🏿🌱🌱⚡️everyone wont love U🫶🏿but youll find those who will 🫠 Plant tiny kisses on your heart💕 and leave ya soul fulfilled 🫠
Very beautiful! Thank you ❤

I was invited to attend a baby naming ceremony to say my own prayers for my children. i am part ojibwe, french and english. My ancestors were at white earth in minnesota. My great great grandfather was the chief. I dont know the story as its kinda taboo talk in my family back then. Anyways, my children were taken by the state and we exposed alot of corruption in our case. We did a hunger strike on our capitol steps for 38 days i think. To my husband and i it was a public fast. Pleading to God for our children. There was this native kickapoo man who used to come up and mostly watch and sometimes ask questions. One day as it was really busy and we had a team of people that participated. I put a cigarette out in an almost empty water bottle. now as i did this i noticed a painful type grimace come across his face. i asked if he was ok. head looking down he said i shouldnt be so careless. He looked up at me and said water is very sacred. I was a little stunned but apologized for offending him. He said we should respect water and talked on as he explained a few points. i cant remember WHAT he said but i remember later on after the native man left i kept thinking about the things he said. i glanced over at the water bottle and felt so sad that i ruined the water. i went and took that bottle and i watered a nearby shrub saying a small prayer. this same man returned for many days and one day invited me to a baby naming ceremony. He was the drummer. The next morning after it was over an elder came to me as i was fleeing to my car. i was sick had a headache all night no sleep and most of the group did not want me or like me being there. i had even accidentally tainted a womans kitchen because i entered it asking if i could help. i did not know i wasnt allowed. The elders were nice and my native friend was there. I also had my eldest child who was 23 at the time. So i stayed but was really ready to get back to my husband. An elder did tell me i would get my kids back. I dont know what happened but it was crazy when i returned. My husband was out of his mind, fleeing from unseen forces. i cant tell you what happened but i can tell you that it was demonic and life threatening. It had to do with a group of VERY powerful people and politics. It just gets crazier but i end up being given reprieve at a monestary in the mountains. this particular place was surrounded by water! I had to drive through water in order to even enter.I prayed and pleaded and cried out to God Jesus and all creation. There everything shifted. We went back to our case and it was a different tune. Everthing changed to our favor. We got our kids back and went back to the monastary to say thanks as a family for my prayers being answered. I respect water now. Not only do i respect it i understand why its so sacred. ive also learned much more about the teachings of ojibwe and my ancestors. It has even changed my extended family. Where these things used to be taboo and they didnt like to think that it mattered to be native american. As a matter of fact our town was pretty racist toward my family. By my generation though it was forgotten because of our pale skin and blonde hair. On my protest for my children i met a woman named willow moon that i was related to and david gaskin was also a relative. He came to my protest not knowing but after he reviewed my family history and blood quantum paperwork he said we were both related to the fairbanks. Pretty cool how i met relatives from afar through this. He held a prayer circle and smudged us. I really appreciated him being there. I am amazed at all i have learned and been through. All because of one painfilled grimace. thanks Johnny if you ever read this. I still often think of you!!

How can I use water sounds to release internal trauma ?
@zeropointconsciousness

You could meditate next to water and ask it to release your trauma, also ask a tree to release your trauma when you stand next to it's trunk Sacred Sister that works amazingly well and you'll probably bond in some way. Put down some tobacco as a thankyou and anything else you may think of as a nice gift...it will work and I think Cedar may work best. Blessings from Scotland Sis' look after yourself.

Hi and thank you for your videos they are very helpful for me . I was wondering if there is a way that I could ask Mother Nature on guidance about going back to school for cyber security. This AI that’s going on has me wondering if I’ll have a job or not in the future .

This was how india was colonised
the one thing I dont like about native stories and culture is the lack of equality for men. Makes the whole thing ever so sexist and downright hateful towards men.
Thank you, just learning about my roots, many moons on Georgian Bay 🩵🪶 Longing to return one day
Sacred Sister Edna is a wonderful teacher and storyteller...I love this Chi Miigwetch. The first time I heard Anishinaabe teachings I started crying because some of them I had been doing intuitively and my spirit recognised others and the truth of our situation. They made me happy at the same time though. 🤍🎶
