Thanking Mother Earth

Thanking Mother Earth

In celebration of Earth Day, North Quad hosted an Andean Thanksgiving Ceremony known as Despacho a Pachamama in Quechua, the language of the Incas, where a series of offerings (seeds, candy, grains and others) were presented with reverence and gratitude to the Earth.
