“Late one afternoon when returning from town we were met by a few women and children who told us that Mexican troops from some other town had attacked our camp, killed all the warriors of the guard, captured all our ponies, secured our arms, destroyed our supplies, and killed many of our women and children.. when all were counted, I found that my aged mother, my young wife, and my three small children were among the slain.” ChildrenYoungMotherThreeFoundWifeArmsMetsLateTownsDestroyedWarriorCampsAfternoonTroopsMexicanCapturedSuppliesSecuredSmall ChildPoniesApachesYoung Wife Book:Geronimo's Story of His Life: As Told to S.

“I am tired of the warmakers making war with our children. I am tired of our tired troops being sent over to do the dirty work for mob bosses who are going to squeeze the life out of Iraq and not leave until every asset and every natural resource has been raped from the country. I am tired of seeing Iraqis burying their loved ones and hearing the reverberating screams of mothers all over our country who are being destroyed for the benefit of a very few.” ChildrenHas BeensWarCountryMotherNaturalSeeingBenefitsResourcesOur ChildrenTiredIraqHearingDestroyedOur CountryDirtyBossAssetsScreamLoved OnesTroopsNatural ResourcesBuryingDirty Work Author:Cindy Sheehan
“I think mothers and daughters are meant to give birth to each other, over and over; that is why our challenges to each other are so fierce; that is why, when love and trust have not been too badly blemished or destroyed, the teaching and learning one from the other is so indelible and bittersweet. We daughters must risk losing the only love we instinctively feel we can't live without in order to be who we are, and I am convinced this sends a message to our mothers to break their own chains, though they may be anchored in prehistory and attached to their own great grandmothers' hearts.” ThinkingGivingFeelsHeartMayMotherOrderChallengesBreakRiskTeachingBirthMessagesLosingDaughterConvincedDestroyedChainsWho We AreGrandmotherFierceOnly LoveBittersweetMother And DaughterTeaching And LearningLove And TrustIndelibleGreat GrandmotherPrehistory Author:Alice Walker
