A traditional Iroquois celebration of the beauty and spirit of Mother Earth, as told by a contemporary Mohawk chief, Giving Thanks, is a special children's version of the Thanksgiving Address, a message of gratitude that originated with the Native people of upstate New York and Canada and that is still spoken at ceremonial gatherings held by the Iroquois, or Six Nations.
