Grandmothers Work to Ease World's ProblemsThirteen women from indigenous tribes around the world are trying to ease war, pollution and other ills by encouraging traditional ways that served their people long before the birth of modern peace and environmental movements. Roughly every six months, the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers visits each other's homelands to fulfill a vision and a mission to spare their progeny the problems that now vex most everyone. So far their effort has earned them a meeting with the Dalai Lama and a relationship with the Bioneers environmental group.
