She said: "We waited a long time for the Winter to be over. It is hard for the flowers and hard for the plants that feed us in the cold months of Winter. Each year we wait for the signs and when we see them, we prepare a celebration. We celebrate the return of the sun and the return of the things that grow on the ground, the things that nourish us and the things that sustain us for another year. Our children can become strong now that the sun is here to warm us. We, as a people, can become strong again. We can rejoice in our work, the work of women on this earth, for we are what sustains our people, the women of the valley and the women of the Sun."
