Sherry Allen-Lavoie Art

Sweetgrass is the hair of mother earth. 
Braid her hair before you cut it. leave 
her an offering of Tobacco. Then find 
a quiet place under northern fir and 
make a flute in the key of g. i will hear 
your gratitude and all will be good. 
Every struggle, whether won or lost, 
strengthens us for the next to come. It is 
not good for people to have an easy life. 
They become weak and inefficient when 
they cease to struggle. Some need a series of 
defeats before developing the strength and 
courage to win a victory.
