Each of us, no matter who we are or where we come from, carries a gift that lives nowhere else in the world. These gifts are not random; they are needed now, in this time of great turning. We are living through a true metamorphosis—spiritual, emotional, and physical—felt by all living beings, including Mother Earth herself.
We are being called to remember what matters. To re-imagine our values. To restore right relationship with one another and with the Earth who sustains us. There is no one outside of us who will come to make things right. We are the ones we have been waiting for.
The Ten Point Pledge to the Great Mother is an invitation—practical, grounded, and alive—to choose care over indifference, responsibility over separation. It asks us to live each day in a good way, guided by love, compassion, and unity, and to let our actions become our prayers.
Through these simple teachings, Kahontakwas Diane Longboat reminds us of our sacred responsibility: to live in gratitude for all that is given, to walk gently upon the Earth, and to hold the generations yet to come in our hearts with every step we take.
