The spirit of the gods live within the word.
Words then become prayers when spoken with the knowledge of their spiritual content.
As we speak to each other, Sisters, we are praying, and the god or gods to whom we thank for Life are with us. We share these words, our prayers, with you Sisters. Listen to them with your soul, Sisters. They are stories of resistance and survival against the greatest violences perpetuated by any people against another. Indigenous peoples have resisted colonisation since the Europeans first arrived in their ocean home over 400 years ago, and women have been at the forefront of that resistance.
