Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Introduction The first calendar that North American Indians ever had was Turtles shell. Our Ancestors watched the passing of the cycles and seasons, noting that thirteen moons passed before the same seasons returned. Grandmother Nisa (Moon) was our guide. Through her changing cycles, she told women when their bodies were fertile and when they would experience their Moontimes, or menstrual flows. Grandmother Moon disappeared and returned, showing her full face thirteen times during the year. The Earth Mother, who was represented by the Most fertile creature on our planet, the Turtle, showed our Ancestors how to mark the passing of each moon cycle. Turtles shell bore the thirteen moons of the year inside of a frame that formed the circle we call the Sacred Hoop, or Medicine Wheel. This unifying circle represents the sacred relationship of all life to all life. The Sacred Hoop also represented the path across the sky or orbit that was our Earth Mothers yearly journey around Grandfather Sun. The orbit of Grandmother Moons journey around our Earth Mother is another circle, giving the Ancestors an understanding of the import of all concentric circles bringing life into unity or harmony. These thirteen moon cycles gave birth to the legends of the Thirteen Original Clan Mothers who represent the gifts and abilities humankind can develop during the Earthwalk, or physical life. These lessons of developing human potential contain the skills that every Two-legged human must learn in order to live in harmony with all life forms. When we learn what our potentials are and develop the skills of right relationship, we can offer to share those gifts with the whole of the Human Tribe. Generosity is the key to working for the benefit of all living things. If we give of ourselves and of our gifts, the blessings we have received are shared. We can then expand the boundaries and capabilities of all human potential. When my editor approached me about writing
