Monthly Message and Information
Did You Know
March has 31 days and is the third month of the year. It was named for the Roman god of war, Mars. In the early Roman calendar, March (or Martius) was the first month!  As March brought the first day of spring with the vernal equinox, it was the start of new beginnings. March became the third month when January and February, which were added to the end of the Roman calendar around 700 BCE, were moved to the first and second months around 450 BCE.

I Martius am! Once first, and now third!
To lead the Year was my appointed place;
A mortal dispossessed me by a word,
And set there Janus with the double face
.
–Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, American poet (1807–82)

Character Building - Trait of the Month
Building character is an important part of teaching our young to become independent, compassionate, intelligent, self reliant and responsible citizens. I believe it requires the modelling and teaching of community. With this in mind, each month a character trait will be highlighted.

This month's trait is:

Picture
Definition - impartial and just treatment or behavior without favoritism or discrimination
cad - fairness

Thanksgiving Address Ganonhanyonh (Words that Come Before All Else):
Haudenosaunee Greetings to the Natural World

Picture
Haudenosaunee tradition teaches us that peace requires gratitude.  We are to be thankful for the living world.  Our relationship to the Earth is the basis of our sustenance and our peacefulness.  Our Mother Earth connects us to a perpetual process of creation, and she continues to provide all we need to be happy and healthy.
To this very day, nearly every social, cultural and political event that takes place at the Onondaga Nation begins and ends with the “words that come before all others,” that is known as the “Thanksgiving Address.”  Through these words, our minds are gathered together to share our thankfulness of what nature provides, and acknowledges the ongoing impact of these forces on human lives.  The Thanksgiving Address acknowledges the people, earth, waters, plants, animals, birds, bushes, trees, winds, sun, moon, stars, as well as the unseen spiritual forces.  There are a multitude of connections between human beings and other living beings in the world.  The Haudenosaunee are thankful for all the gifts that we receive

Giving Thanks - a good morning message
