Trees are one of our most important resources. The Tree of Life has had numerous meanings amongst many cultures throughout history. Promote discussion about
the significance of trees and their contribution to the survival of so
many animals and organisms with the Tree of Life carpet in your
classroom.
To Native Americans, as with many symbols, the Tree of Life has different meanings for different tribes. The Tree of life represents all that is life, encompassing all that exists upon the planet.
In the Navajo way of thinking, the tree became a stalk of corn growing
from the sacred ceremonial basket, a symbol of life and the birds
represent abundance and balance in nature. The
Cherokee call trees the Standing People and teach that all of their
plant relations are the givers of the Earth providing for the needs of
others.
Each tree has its properties and attributes with the ability to
share these with the people - tree symbols. Trees provide healing
medicines, shelter from their branches, a place for burrows for the
small animals and provide materials to build homes. A Tree symbolizes
permanence, longevity and its firm base symbolises the concept of
‘roots’ and an ongoing relationship with natural surroundings. Such
positive characteristics and attributes of trees lend themselves to
being revered.
