Thunder In Love With Corn Row Woman.wmv

i Put Together this film cutting it as short to fit into the song i chose that i felt went good. tis a Mohawk Native American story.and goes like this

The Mohawk tell the story of how Thunder fell in love with a human woman named Corn Row Woman. She came to live with him in the sky world until she became pregnant. Thunder's mother, Sky Woman, told them that Corn Row Woman could not give birth in the Sky World and that she would have to raise the child on Earth. She warned that no one must ever strike the child or it would be taken away to the Sky World.
Corn Row Woman gave birth to Thunder Boy on Earth. For many years all was well, but one day Thunder Boy displeased his grandmother, the mother of Corn Row Woman. The grandmother had never believed Corn Row Woman's story that Thunder had fathered her son. She struck Thunder Boy to discipline him but he then disappeared, back to the Sky World, never to return. His mother was broken hearted and sang to him whenever there was a storm or thunder, forever sorry.

Striking children teaches that might is right. This is dominance thinking, and anyone who is dominated, struggles with the power imbalance. It is important to realize that we as adults hold all the power. Even when it feels as if we don't, we truly do. It is easiest not to get into power struggles in the first place. We can foster an allied relationship with our children, instead of an adversarial one.

@lilboyblue01 it should be somewhere on youtube its from Dreamkeeper im sure it was the 5th story along Thunder, but the story she couldnt stay in the clouds with him so was sent back with the boy under one condition he must never be beaten, but as his mother was out in the field one day the boys grandmother smacked him for being little naughty, so he ran off into the woods and was taken up to the clouds to be with thunder his father, his mum cries every time it rains wanting her boy

Yes one of my favourite movies ever ... but her name was 'She Crosses The Water' .. where did 'Cornrow Woman' come from? There is an excellent full length version of this movie (Dreamkeeper) from 'thelongwayhome' here on youtube

@SoulBeat123 Cornrow Woman met and fell in love with thunder who had a child who was not to be hit, i found info online under Native American storys this one fitted in with the story :)

belíssimo, terno, suave, forte e inspirador. especialmente quando vivemos num mundo de tanta violencia, as crianças nos ensinam a amar...parabens!

@helen1434 Thanks Helen, I saw that link you mentioned. Come to think of it, many Native stories/legends/dreamtime have slight variations on names and some details. What amazing wisdom on that site from Canadian/Cree on parenting! This really struck a cord with me: "Historically Aboriginal cultures did not question the INNATE GOODNESS of a child". Funny, that the beautiful and majestic actor who plays Thunder (Michael Greyeyes) in this clip, is also Canadian/Cree glowing with innate goodness.
