�O da gaho de:s : reflecting on our journeys / Gae Ho Hwako (Norma Jacobs) and the Circles of �O da gaho de:s ; edited by Timothy B. Leduc.

Gae Ho Hwako, (author.). Leduc, Timothy B., 1970- (editor.).

Summary:

"In the words of Cayuga Elder Gae Ho Hwako Norma Jacobs: "We have forgotten about that sacred meeting space between the Settler ship and the Indigenous canoe, �o da gaho dḛ:s, where we originally agreed on the Two Row, and where today we need to return to talk about the impacts of its violation." �O da gaho dḛ:s highlights the Indigenous values that brought us to the sacred meeting place in the original treaties of Turtle Island, particularly the Two Row Wampum, and the sharing process that was meant to foster good relations from the beginning of the colonial era. The book follows a series of Indigenous sharing circles, relaying teachings by Gae Ho Hwako and the responses of participants - scholars, authors, and community activists - who bring their diverse experiences and knowledge into reflective relation with the teachings. Through this practice, the book itself resembles a teaching circle and illustrates the important ways tradition and culture are passed down by Elders and Knowledge Keepers. The aim of this process is to bring clarity to the challenges of truth and reconciliation. Each circle ends by inviting the reader into this sacred space of �o da gaho dḛ:s to reflect on personal experiences, stories, knowledge, gifts, and responsibilities. By renewing our place in the network of spiritual obligations of these lands, �O da gaho dḛ:s invites transformations in how we live to enrich our communities, nations, planet, and future generations."-- Provided by publisher.
