To Honor the Maori People of New Zealand
The two pictures were taken at Waitangi in the far North of New Zealand.
The
place of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.
The Treaty of Waitangi was signed
on 6th February 1840.
The basis of this agreement was that the Maori people
continued possession of the forest and fishing grounds, in return for allegiance to the
British Crown.
Researched in the book of New Zealand Geography...by R D
Mayhill & H G Bawden....published 1966.
The native people of this land
hold the "mana' (spirit) of many lifetimes.
They traveled in canoes to this land,
traceable back to the fourteenth century and where part of the 'Great
Fleet".
This land is said to hold very strong spiritual energies.From out in
space there is a violet hue that can be seen,that glows from Aotearoa.
It is a land
of many scenes, both mountains,valleys, lakes, volcanoes, beaches.
Many people
that have visited here have said, "this country has a part of every country in it's land -
the fiords are likened to the fiord's of Scandanavia, the Alps are likened to the Austrian
mountains".
But see for yourself!
The people here are very friendly and many
famous people come here to relax and know that they are treated with respect and
dignity for their privacy.
This beautiful land welcomed me as a young child from
Holland.
We were one of the many cultures that immigrated in the 50's.
I
feel proud to be a KIWI and hope I can share my love for this beautiful land with
you!
Two Feathers offers this prayer to the Maori people and to all peoples of
the world.
To the People of Aotearoa- Land of the Long White Cloud
Some of our Native Bush up North by Kerikeri.
Blessing and healing healing to all native peoples of the world,
may we all gather
from the four corners of the world and with open hearts,unite this world.
The
four winds whisper of the ancient knowledge, the connecting of the hearts.
For
all those spiritual warriors...stay strong and of bold spirit.
Listen to your elders,
learn the old ways.
Balance yourself between the Warrior and the Spirit,
It
is the key to the connection with Great Spirit and connection with Mother
Earth.
The old ways hold balance and the nurturing of mankind.
Learn well,
my friends.
The medicine that has been brought forward from your
ancestors,
will long live in your hearts and will heal you.
Live in harmony
with the earth for it is our Mother.
For the family is the stronghold of our lives
and our wellbeing.
Gather your children to your hearts and teach them well of the
earth and it's riches.
For their fruit shall blaze in your hearts and being joy to your
soul
Blessings and healing to ALL who read this prayer.
