Institute for Cultural Awareness Native Nation's Summer Summit to Fulfill Pre-Columbian Peace Prophecy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0x1wRyOeW0 Grain Valley, Missouri: June 4-7, 2010 As the world stands on the brink of all-out earth changes, this summer Indigenous leaders and Tribal Elders from throughout the Americas will make the long journey to Grain Valley Missouri for a special summit to fulfill their people's Pre-Colombian peace prophecy. From June 4-7, some of the last living direct descendants of the new world's First Nations will gather on the central planes of North America for inter-tribal ceremonies and cross-cultural exchanges intended to realize their tradition's long-standing common vision of uniting the Americas. The special summit of Native Nations stands in stark contrast to the gridlocked gatherings of global leaders attended exclusively by members of the ruling class from economic superpowers. It comes at a time when the prospect of catastrophic events like global warming, Earth changes and world wars are causing people everywhere to perceive an urgent need for a new way of relating to each other and the Earth. The fulfillment of the prophecy, known by all Indigenous Nations as The Return to the Sacred Fires, has been believed by many for centuries to be a precursor to a new era of peace and prosperity that will begin to spread throughout the world. The symbolic story states that when all the People have returned to the Sacred Fires, peace will reign on Earth. The elders of North America still have their ancient Fire Ceremonies and view their coming together at this time as the prophecy's long-awaited fulfillment. They have called on their counterparts from throughout North, South and Central America to be present at this historic event. Peace-keepers are welcome to come from around the world and many will also participate through synchronous ceremonies held at sacred sites from Europe to Asia. "Contrary to popular belief, Armageddon and the 2012 Apocalypse are not inevitable," shares summit organizers. "Globalization has brought us to the brink of a new civilization, and we must now vision together our goals and dreams of re-uniting and not be influenced by the old paradigms that are pulling us apart and destroying our world. The Natural World is just waiting for us to emphasize forgiveness over fighting, gratitude over greed, and bring our relationships with each other and our Earth back into balance. "Our traditions believe that a better world is probable, not just possible." A GATHERING OF EAGLES: RETURN TO THE SACRED FIRE Gathering Sponsored by Indian Ministries Council of the Americas.
