3. Happy Thanksgiving to TRENDS Readers: May our Learning TRENDS readers have a safe and healthy Thanksgiving holiday.  Friends, family, good food and thoughts about all that we have to be thankful for are so key, especially at a time of change and uncertainty.  Here is a Mohawk Native American Prayer of Thanksgiving - from four hundred years ago:

Oh Great Spirit, Creator of all things;
Human Beings, trees, grass, berries.
Help us, be kind to us.
Let us be happy on earth.
Let us lead our children
To a good life and old age.
These our people; give them good minds.
To love one another.
Oh Great Spirit,
Be kind to us.
Give these people the favor.
To see green trees,
Green grass, flowers, and berries.
This next spring;
So we all meet again.
Oh Great Spirit,
We ask of you.

Thanksgiving greetings to our Learning Trends colleagues around the world.

Yours in learning,
Elliott Masie.
