Song of the Grandmothers
I am Cherokee.
My people believe in the Spirit that unites all things.
I am woman. I am life force. My word has great value.
The man reveres me as he reveres Mother Earth and his own spirit.
The Beloved Woman is one of our principal chiefs.
Through her the Spirit often speaks to the people. In the Great Council at the capital, she is a powerful voice.
Concerning the fate of hostages, her word is absolute.
Women share in all of life. We lead sacred dances. In the Council we debate freely with men until an agreement is reached. When the nation considers war,
we have a say, for we bear the survivors.
Sometimes I go into battle. I also plant and harvest.
I carry my own name and the name of my clan. If I accept a mate, he and our children take the name of my clan. If there is deep trouble between us, I am as free to tell him to go as he is to leave. Our children and our dwelling stay with me. As long as I am treated with dignity, I am steadfast.
I love and work and sing.
I listen to the Spirit.
In all things I speak my mind.
I walk without fear.
I am Cherokee.
