What a Beautiful Day

Gratitude for a beautiful day is one of the most universal human expressions. In Cayuga, it carries the weight of the Thanksgiving Address — the Haudenosaunee practice of beginning every gathering by giving thanks to the earth, the water, the plants, the animals, the winds, the sun, the moon, the stars. A beautiful day is not a casual observation. It is a recognition of gifts.
