It is hard not to believe in the simple yet profound wisdom of the Elders. Their message that our planet is our relative, our Mother, rings true in the heart, if only we could hear it. Their words of clarity should be enough to plant the seeds of behavior change such that the rift in western civilization between human and nature could begin to heal.
"These two films - MOHAWK WISDOM KEEPERS and IROQUOIS SPEAK OUT FOR MOTHER EARTH - are a priceless record of the teachings of ancient wisdom in relation to contemporary times, and will be as useful to future generations as they are to us today." Eric Noyes, American Indian Institute. Bozeman, Montana

This compelling documentary depicts the traditional teachings and beliefs of five noted Mohawk Elders regarding spiritual tradition and the need to respect the earth. Harriet Jock of Akwesasne, Judy Swamp of Akwesasne, and Tom Porter formerly of Akwesasne are depicted in this film. The women and men speak of medicines, the great law of peace and keeping our world sacred for the future seven generations that will come.
