Paying Homage to Our Earth Mothers

Still Point Farm Festival Oregon, saw the hosting of an annual event that pays tribute to Indigenous Grandmothers in the second Mother Earth Festival of its kind.
The festival sported a mix of healing, massage, and the sale of organic makeup, natural products and also the sharing of the message regarding global wisdom of the Earth, and the importance of water, peace on Earth and a clean world.
Grandmother Agnes Baker-Pilgrim aged 87 says Grandmothers everywhere “you are the wisdom keepers and we'd like for you wherever you live to know that your children, they honour you because you are the wisdom keepers of the family and in your community. Just because you’re grey headed is no sign your kids can put you back in a rest home or something,” she said.
