According to Algonquian legend Mother Earth lives beneath the highest clouds. The Water of life feeds plants, animals and humans.

She is sad. Humans are destroying her earth.

"I thought I would get it right this time with earth - but human greed is destroying my planet - just as it had done with my other planets".

"Very soon there will no longer be an earth."

With every human destruction on earth a deep cut appears on Nokomis. She has no option but to put an end to it all.
