For
thousands of years this sacred site was known as Ma-na-ta-ka®
(Place of Peace). Elders of many nations from the four corners of Turtle
Island made long pilgrimages to this magnificent place to perform ceremonies
and share the gift of the curative waters called No-wa-sa-lon (Breath
of Healing). They received other special gifts like healing stones,
healing clay and healing herbs to enhance their journey through life.
