Grandmothers Wisdom

In honor of L❤️VE, today we want to thank you for helping us reach over 1k likes 🎉🎉🎉!

We are grateful for this community and platform aiding us in putting into practice the mission of the International Council of the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. For those of you who are new to this work, we would like to share a little bit more about who we are:

The Grandmothers Wisdom project is inspired by the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. Since 2004 the Grandmothers have been coming together from the four directions of the earth, uniting their diverse spiritual and cultural lineages to form a global alliance of prayer in order to bring peace and healing to humanity, and to safeguard the future of our planet. The Grandmothers have dedicated themselves to educating and inspiring individuals to consciously change the way in which they relate to each other as well as to all of creation.

Our second book was self-published by the International Council of the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers and mä creative in the fall of 2019 as a spiritual, educational and environmental call to action, sharing and preserving the traditions of our wise elders and for the sake of protecting our great Grandmother Earth and future generations. We invite you to continue this work with us and sharing our story. If you have not already ordered your copy of Grandmothers Wisdom: Reverence for All Creation please visit our website and get your copy today!

With love and gratitude on this special day,

The Grandmothers Wisdom team

Grandmothers Wisdom Book Testimonial:

“These extraordinary stories, by elders who share remarkable journeys, can help humanity evolve. Women of vision, fortitude, and a startling candor, their words expose courageous paths powerful women have walked, and are leaving for others to follow. They also exemplify the prophecy: When the Grandmothers speak (and are listened to) the world will begin to heal.

Perhaps this is the book, by the thirteen grandmothers traveling the world with their stories and prayers, that humanity has been waiting for.”

- Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize winning novelist

“As humans we need to do a better job. Our job is to keep on doing good, not only for those who are alive on the planet but also for the seven generations ahead.

We need to guard our water. I keep talking to the youth around the world... because when I’m gone they need to ripple it out. We’ve taken for granted our Mother Earth; we have to start giving back to Her our love and respect. Our ways of caretaking Her have got to change.”

- Grandmother Agnes Baker Pilgrim

“Everyday, I thank God that I have been able to do the things I do as one of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, and to walk my talk. I say, “Do it right, because you only got one time to walk this earth. Make it good, make it a good thing.” - Grandmother Agnes

Dear Relatives and Friends,

We are saddened to share the news that our eldest beautiful beloved sister, Grandmother Agnes "Taowhywee" (Morning Star) Baker Pilgrim made her journey home to the Spirit World on November 27, 2019 at 8:49 am, she was 95 years old. Her family was at her bedside, as she smiled and took her last breath.

On September 11, 1924 she was born in Logsden, Oregon on a tribal allotment at the headwaters of the Siletz River. She came from the bloodline of Chief George Harney of the Siletz Tribe and her parents were Eveline Lydia Harney Baker and George Wentworth Baker. Her mother’s tribal lineage is Takelma of the Siletz Confederated Tribe and her father is Coos Tribe, both are Oregon coastal tribes.

Grandmother Aggie, was a dedicated warrior grandmother, for many causes. She was a “voice for the voiceless” – animals, plants, and the water. She had many major accomplishments in the efforts and causes she pursued. To name a few, she led the successful removal and clean up of all the dams on the Rogue River by 2012 and in 1994 she revived the Siletz tribal sacred Salmon Ceremony. Her community work included serving as an advisor to a medical doctor’s association and creating opportunities for the young tribal members to learn about their culture.

We the Grandmothers and all who have had the honor of sharing a moment in the life walk of Grandmother Agnes cherish, honor and hold high respect for her life and now offer prayers of gratitude and for her good journey to her place in the Spirit World.

Blessings and prayers to Nadine Martin, her daughter and faithful assistant throughout the years of her travels with the Grandmothers as well as her five generations of grandchildren that she loved so dearly.

Please offer prayers with us for her good journey.

Love and Light,

International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers

Grandma Aggie’s time on this earth is an example of a life lived in its fullest. A life lived in service of Spirit. A life lived in service of Mother Earth. A life lived in service of humankind. The prayers she made and the actions that followed her prayers have left their imprint. Her gentle and thundering voice always spoke of truths that few had the courage to speak.

Her overflowing heart filled with faith and purpose touched many who had the privilege and blessing of being near her. Her great spirit will continue to reverberate for generations to come.

May the angels continue to breathe into her wings.

In 2014 activist and artist Diana Garcia gathered for the first time with the Grandmothers in Arizona, like many she became inspired by the depth and wisdom of the Grandmothers and their mission. For over five years Diana has been drawing and sculpting mythical beings that she envisions “will one day rise up to make the earth green again.”

We are so grateful and honored for her work portrayed in the Grandmothers Wisdom: Reverence for All Creation book, where she created original artwork portraying each Grandmother in her element. A big thank you also to Alexia Panay who contributed the poetry to the mural and to our friends at rag & bone who have brought the Grandmothers’ teachings to life in NYC!

We welcome you to join us in celebrating this incredible work of art by visiting the mural at E. Houston and Elizabeth Street, it will be up now through November 3rd!

If you haven’t pre-ordered your Grandmothers Wisdom: Reverence for all Creation book, please do so today! It is truly a revolutionary work of our time.

✨🙌🏽✨

Dear beloved community,

We did it! We made our goal of $13,000 USD in support of covering the travel expenses bringing the Grandmothers to NY for the book launch and gathering in September, 2019. Our hearts are filled with gratitude, as we look over the donor list and see over 300 donors that made donations, small and large. There were nearly 2k shares on social media and over 300 followers — it is amazing what our mighty community can do. With this accomplishment we wish to take a moment to recognize how important your support is, regardless of what capacity you are able to give. It is with communal and cooperative intention that we have been able to make a such an impact on the cause of what the Grandmothers Wisdom Project stands for. We thank you for being committed to building this together.

If you have not already had the opportunity to pre-order the Grandmothers Wisdom: Reverence for all Creation book, pre-orders are now officially open at grandmotherswisdom.org. We welcome you to join us in celebrating this great work of our time!

We look forward to sharing with you more stories, videos and photos of the NYC mural, book launch and Lift the Earth gathering in the coming weeks. As we reflect on the movement that has manifested out of the birth of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers 15 years ago, we are present to how significant the voice of the Grandmothers is and the mission they represent. As we take stock of the past 15 years we are getting ready to launch an expansive web platform sprouting from the seeds that the Grandmothers have planted throughout the world. Stay connected for great things to come!

With so much gratitude for your prayers, gifts and contributions,

The Grandmothers Team

We are so grateful for your continued support and for helping us by donating and sharing our INDIGENOUS GRANDMOTHERS UNIFY IN NY campaign. The Book Launch and Lift the Earth events in NY were a great success, we are excited to share more in the coming weeks. There are remaining travel expenses that we are still short to cover and are calling on your support to help us close the gap.

We are revising our goal to $13,000 and extending our campaign closing date to Monday, October 14th.

Additionally, in support of this campaign Grandmother Beatrice’s family has graciously donated a one-of-a-kind handmade Lakota Star Quilt that will be offered in appreciation to a top-level donor. The prayers, support and presence of this great community has been an beautiful example of how we can come together in honor of our sacred Grandmother Earth and all her creation.

Thank you again for your continued support! 🙏🏼💛
