Here are some words in Gayogo̱ho:nǫ’ (Cayuga Language) that can be used to honour the Maple, which provides us with the sap we use to make Maple syrup. It is important to ground ourselves and remember to be thankful for the things in nature that are still providing for us year after year. We often use words of gratitude whenever we harvest from nature. These are words to use before the first drink of Ohwahdagri’ – Maple sap.![]()

When the earth begins to warm up again in the Spring, the sap also begins to flow again. It is one of the first things from nature that we are able to harvest in order to sustain ourselves. This is why we refer to them as the leader of the standing forests.![]()
