Ga’nigöi:yoh:
To have a good mind. For the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois, this is the ideal philosophy of life. Following the arrival of the peacemaker, who assisted in the burial of arrows under the Tree of Peace, the Haudenosaunee have utilized this concept of awareness in their teachings of peace.
They believe that peace is a state of mind obtained through a strong connection to spirit, a process only attainable with exceptional clarity. Consequently, this will allow the spirit to grow and acknowledge the transmittable spiritual energy which pervades all inanimate and animate natural objects, simply Orenda. Those with a Good Mind have strong Orenda, leading to a life of peace.
