Honour Earth Mother was written in the hope that it would help restore some of the affection and reverence that the Indigenous people had for the land. For our ancestors the earth was a holy place, made so by the act of creation of the Great Mystery; it is the dwelling place of the manitous and spirits and is the repository of our grandparents' bones. It is a place of revelation that has yielded all that men and women have come to know and still has more secrets and mysteries to pass on to those who watch and listen. Honour Earth Mother is an invitation to go into the woods and meadow, mountains, valleys and seaside, to watch miracles unfold, to listen to nature's symphonies, to feel the pulse of the earth, to take in the fragrances, to taste the nectars, and to sense the awesome.

Autorenporträt
Basil Johnston has written 15 books in English and 5 in Ojibway to show that there is much more to North American Indigenous life than social organization, hunting and fishing, food preparation, clothing, dwellings and transportation. Among the books that Basil has written are Ojibway Heritage, Indian School Days, Crazy Dave, and Honour Earth Mother (Kegedonce Press). Basil believes the key to understanding culture is language and to this end he has developed audio programs on cassette and CD. For his work Johnston has received numerous awards including the Order of Ontario and Honourary Doctorates from the University of Toronto and Laurentian University.
