Ohén:ton Karihwatéhkwen - Advanced Level
Spoken as a spiritual address to the powers of the natural world, these words are used to open gatherings in order to bring the minds of the people together as one and align the gathered minds with Nature. The roots of these words reach back thousands of years to the very origins of the Haudenosaunee as a people.
This is the first level in a series of learning that not only teaches you the words to give thanks but also teaches you the meaning behind the words.
