October 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers.
To celebrate this milestone, a special event is being planned in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where the Grandmothers had their first official gathering and embarked on a global mission. This land is home to The Path, The Seed Temple envisioned and founded by Grandmother Flordemayo, serving as a source of seed preservation and library for New Mexico and elsewhere. We acknowledge that the land on which we will gather is the traditional and ancestral territory of the Pueblo peoples, including the Tewa, Tiwa, and Towa tribes, as well as other Indigenous nations that have called this region home for millennia. We honor their enduring connection to this land, their rich cultures, and their ongoing contributions to our communities.
We Are All Related: Unearthing the Roots of Our Shared Humanity is a four-day event from October 24-27, 2024 at the Pueblo of Pojoaque - Hilton Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
This special event will also be the catalyst for launching Synergetic Press’s first edition of the Grandmothers' book: "Grandmothers' Wisdom: Living Portrayals from the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers."
We Are All Related: Unearthing the Roots of Our Shared Humanity will feature the participation of founding members of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers and special guests, including Dr. Henrietta Mann, who penned the introduction for this newly revised edition, and Dr. Vandana Shiva, who authored the new foreword.
