Voice Perspective Elizabeth Doxtater To Show That We Care
Figure 20: Mother of Nations, also called Queen of Peace (Tsikónhsase), placed the horns
on Atatárho, corn husk & mixed medium by
Six Nations artist, Elizabeth Doxtater
We gather our minds
To send a thanksgiving prayer To the women in our lives
To show that we care.
We pray that you’re happy Have a safe home to stay You‘re heard and respected And loved every day.
We pray you’re protected, Encouraged to learn Fulfilling your goals Because it’s your turn.
To be independent
And Good-minded for growth As leaders and helpers Because now you are both.
We pray as you walk
From the time of your birth You have been without fear As you walk on the Earth.
We send our thanks
And now our prayer’s done But our caring continues And our minds are now one.
