Above is the video from the final week of this installment of the Iroquois Creation Story Workshop. During this workshop, we have the privilege of hearing the First Nations Iroquois Creation Account in the First Language Mohawk as read (and then translated, paragraph by paragraph) by First Nations Mohawk wisdom keeper Trina Stacey Ienonhsaka'én:ions!
This sacred story shares a celestial foundation with ancient myths, scriptures and sacred stories given to other cultures around the Earth, on every inhabited continent and island.
This video represents the final session in this first part of the Creation Story Workshop. This was actually a ten-week workshop: there are only nine videos at this time (the actual first week was introduction). The Creation Story Workshop will continue at some point in the future, perhaps around the March Equinox in 2023.
My discussion of celestial aspects of the story runs from around the beginning of this video to around the 1:05:00 mark in the video.
After that, Trina Stacey Ienonhsaka'én:ions continues with the reading, translating, and exploration of the Onondaga version of the Creation Story -- speaking first in the Mohawk First Language and then translating each part into English. Trina's presentation goes from about the 1:05:30 mark in the video until the end of this week's recording.
