    Water is also a natural “barrier “ where certain things can not cross it. When my soul struggles. I go to the water to rest. 😊🙏

    I love this woman. She reminds me a lot of my Mom. She speaks with such passion of our Mother Earth. Simply beautiful.
  • This video is an eye opener. Edna does an amazing job of explaining the power of water and nature itself. It’s sad that Indigenous people were treated so badly by the government and the Europeans, we could have learned a lot from them. It’s not too late, learn from them, change the way you treat nature and water and see what happens. Thank you Edna!

    No matter our ethnicity, we are of the earth. We are of the water. We are one in love and respect. Thank you for your wise words. They lifted my spirit and blessed my day.

    Thank you for sharing your words and ways, Edna. Thank you Louella for sharing the powerful sounds of the water drum. I am saddened to hear people in your lands are thirsty without clean water. May God be with your people and may he bless and cleanse his sacred waters of mother earth.

    Chi-miigwetch for the beautiful sharing of wisdom and teachings. Truly a beautiful video to find on YouTube. My mother sent this to me yesterday. Now, I'm in tears at work.

    Absolutely Beautiful!! In my extra biblical studies the Moon and water are so very important and aligns with everything you are saying. Mayim in Hebrew is Water and Sha-Mayin means "the Heavens". And the Moon is she and the Sun He.... She is a water bearer as woman is the life bringer. In Hebrew Hauva or Eve means (the first woman) "life giver". Just like the Ruah ha qodesh the Spirit of the Living YahUah is She. The teacher, the comforter Wisdom and life giver....She is the breath over the water.

    I have first nation forefathers of Turtle island, Lakota Teton..I live in Australia, I can still remember the feelings that resonated through me the very first time I heard the didgeridoo. Every hair on my body rose, still to this day I love hearing the songs and seeing the traditional dancers of first nation Australia. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that first nation people of Turtle island and the indigenous peoples of Australia have a lot in common, one of the things in common is the sacredness of water..
