Grandmothers Wisdom: Reverence for All Creation book is a body of work that was documented over the course of ten years, traveling to each of the 13 indigenous Grandmothers homelands, visiting their communities, and documenting their stories.
This book reveals the voices of each member of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers from across the four directions of this great Grandmother Earth.
We have worked and traveled with the Grandmothers Council around the world, witnessing them touch the lives of so many through their prayers and teachings.
Their missions are the foundation and inspiration of our work: to preserve their messages, traditions and to also inspire our lives today in preparation for the generations to come.
This book is a sacred artifact capturing the incredible stories of each of these Wise Elders, it is a living devotion in honoring their lives, connecting with their struggles to preserve and revitalize their cultures.
We invite you to learn more and purchase your first edition copy of Grandmothers Wisdom: Reverence for All Creation now until December 11th, when we will close our office for an extended holiday.

We thank you for your continued support and commitment to the mission of and dedication to the Divine Mother, Her children and the future generations. 🙏🌍🕊
With love,

A Voz das Avós, 10 Anos Depois.
Roda de Conversa de lançamento da Reabertura do Portal - avozdasavos.com
A Voz das avós convida:
Neste ano de 2021 celebramos o marco dos 10 anos do encontro que aconteceu no Brasil entre os dias 21 e 24 de Outubro de 2011 - A voz das Avós: No fluir das águas em Brasília -DF.
O convite que se abre é para que possamos reacender o fogo sagrado dessa roda e sentarmos para ouvir e trocar com as vozes de mulheres que carregam no seu fazer no mundo os saberes de suas tradições.
No dia 27 de novembro, às 19:30, convidamos você para nossa Live de lançamento do portal - avozdasavos.com - que mesmo em contexto virtual, se abre como um espaço potente de trocas de saberes ancestrais, com possibilidade de construirmos pontes de diálogo para o fortalecimento dessa rede de conhecimento que se tece sobre nossa Mãe Terra, formando uma aliança de preces, paz e cura.
Nos tempos que atravessamos, sente-se o chamado para que reafirmemos nossos sonhos : Que mundo queremos construir? Orientados pelos saberes que nascem da Terra e se manifestam nas vozes que estão ligadas à ela.
"Estamos chamando A Voz das Avós, que venham unir suas vozes aqui, que venham ecoar seu canto de paz, que tragam o acalanto a todas as crianças, que tragam esperança a toda a juventude, que ativem a ciranda da união e do bom combate. Que venham celebrar a vida e exaltar a força interior em todos os corações."
Avó Maria Alice Freire

Hello!☀️👋🏽
We see many new faces who have joined our page! We wanted to take a moment to introduce this work to you and tell you more about who we are and what we do.
The Grandmothers Wisdom Project is an Earth based community actively building a bridge to support the living legacy of ancient traditions that gives us deeper insight into the mystery of life and the importance of honoring the connection that exists among all beings, nature and the cosmos.
We are a collective of women devoted to the restoration and continuation of the feminine spirit regarding peace, justice, human rights, indigenous rights, environmental protection, and the health and welfare of children and the elderly, for today and the generations to come.
In September of 2019 the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers and mä creative launched the book: Grandmothers Wisdom: Reverence for All Creation, a ground-breaking portrayal of traditional spiritual women and an inspiration for all. The stories are ageless wisdom of earth-based cultures that can benefit all people in today’s climate of disconnection, preparing and opening pathways for the future generations.
Grandmothers Wisdom is a call to action, revitalizing our connection to what is sacred.
We welcome you to learn more about the Grandmothers and to purchase our book in support of this great vision.
This first edition copy is available now until December 11th, when we will close our office until mid January.

Unci (Grandmother in Lakota) Rita was born in the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. She currently lives on the land that was allotted to her great grandparents more than 100 years ago. Unci Rita's paternal Great Grandfather Long Visitor, was a member of the Crazy Horse Band and is listed in the Oglala War Chief Crazy Horse' surrender ledger at Fort Robinson, 1877. Unci Rita is an advocate, she is committed to preserving the Lakota ways of life and most importantly the preservation of the Lakota language, which she speaks fluently. She encourages Lakota parents and grandparents to teach their families the traditions in order to keep connection. Unci Rita is a survivalist skilled in drying and preserving food and making traditional clothing Lakota style or contemporary wear.
Unci Rita is empathetic to single parents and their struggles to raise their children, because she herself was a single parent raising her children (and five grandchildren) on her own.

Unci Rita holds closely to her heart the hope that the work and influence of the Grandmothers Council will give a voice to the Lakota People, and bring good things to the children and the generations to come.

*****************************
From Chantele Rilatos (Grandmother Agnes Baker Pilgrim’s Great Granddaughter): Dv-laa-haa~, Aiy-yu-kwee’ (greetings in Dee-ni’/Yurok), shxuu-shi’ Chantele Rilatos (my name is Chantele Rilatos). I am a Dee-ni’ and Yurok woman. I come from the Rogue River in Southern Oregon and the Klamath River in Northern California. I live in Taa-‘at-dvn (Crescent City, CA). I am the great-granddaughter of day-sri Agnes Baker Pilgrim. Growing up I spent a lot of time with my grandma. We traveled together all over the place for ceremonies, for native rights and water preservation work, and later on with the Grandmothers Council as one of their youth ambassadors. My favorite things I used to do with my grandma was working on dance regalia, gathering, fishing, and preparing fish on sticks for the sacred salmon ceremony we held on the Applegate and Rogue rivers. She gave me many teachings that I am proud to pass on and teach to my son and family today. Shu’ shaa-nin-la!
