A Four
Directions call for...
International Day of Peace
"We
are the ones we have waited for"
May
Peace Prevail on Earth
International Day of Peace Vigil
In 1981, the United Nations
General Assembly established the International
day of Peace (IDP). It was in 2001, that the GA
modified the resolution
(A/RES/55/282)
and designated September 21st as the annual date
of the International Day of Peace.
The intention of the resolution
is to have the entire world observe a day of
peace and nonviolence. All peoples and
organizations are invited to commemorate the day
in an appropriate manner.
An ever-expanding number of
people worldwide, representing a wide variety of
religious and spiritual traditions, have
committed to the task of working with other
like-minded individuals and groups for an
International Day of Peace Vigil with the
following objective:
"To encourage worldwide,
24-hour spiritual observations for peace and
nonviolence on the International Day of Peace,
21 September in every house of worship and place
of spiritual practice, by all religious and
spiritually based groups and individuals, and by
all men, women and children who seek peace in
the world."
This global 24-hour spiritual
observation for peace is meant to demonstrate
the power of prayer and other spiritual
practices in promoting peace and preventing
violent conflict. These worldwide spiritual
observances will also help raise public
awareness of the International Day of Peace and
directly support the establishment of a global
ceasefire. Individuals and groups are invited to
support this worldwide initiative by committing
to hold a 24-hour vigil on 21 September.

Exploring the
Interface between Science
and Tradition
in Native Health Research
Portland
OR
The 20th
Annual Native Health Research Conference (co-sponsored this year by
the Indian Health Service, the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health
Board, and the Native Research Network, Inc.) will bring together
many different stakeholders involved in the conception, production,
translation, and use of health research in American Indian/Alaska
Native/Native Hawaiian (AI/AN/NH) communities from across the
continent. Conference participants will include health care
providers, administrators, educators, policy-makers, and tribal
leaders, as well as researchers.
It is
anticipated that the conference will enhance our collective ability
to advance biomedical, psychosocial, and health services research
for the benefit of Native communities, as well as to showcase recent
health research projects and efforts undertaken in Indian Country.
There is
opportunity in the conference program for pre-coordinated panel
presentations, oral presentations, and poster presentations
concerning AI/AN/NH research projects. We are especially interested
in proposals that will address this year˘s conference theme on the
Interface of Science and Tradition, as well as presenters who might
address Community-Based Participatory Research from the community˘s
perspective and Native Hawaiian Health Issues.
Beyond this,
proposals regarding any area of AI/AN/NH health research will
receive full consideration. Abstracts must be received by 5:00 pm
(Pacific Standard Time) on May 15, 2008, in order to be reviewed by
the Scientific Program Committee of the Native Research Network. We
anticipate notifying all potential presenters of the selection
outcome via email by June 15, 2008.

Standing Stone Ceremony
Monterey, Tennessee
The Standing Stone, an eight-foot tall rock standing upright on a
sandstone ledge, was used as a boundary line between two
separate Indian nations. When the rock fell, the Indians placed a portion of it
upon an improvised monument to preserve it. The stone is still preserved in
Monterey, Tennessee. The ceremony will
commemorate the tribes who lived in this area.
Storytellers, drummers, dancers
and vendors are welcome.

The Return of the Ancestors
Gathering
Northern Arizona April 18 - 28,
2009
A historic International multicultural gathering and
sacred pilgrimage welcomes Indigenous Elders and Future Wisdom Keepers
representing the seven continents of Mother Earth, beginning Earth Day weekend,
April 18-28, 2009 throughout Northern Arizona. The intention is to unite and
share their visions and prophesized ceremonies of 500 years of peace and harmony
for Mother Earth and all humanity.
The goal of the Institute for Cultural Awareness
is to sponsor 72 or more global spiritual/cultural leaders and at least 28 youth
council leaders from around the world. These Wisdom Keepers will share a harvest
of harmonic wisdom and understandings that will enable the world to fulfill the
prophecies of the ancestors. This gathering’s commitment to ceremony, as a focal
point, offers young spiritual men and women of the world the privilege to
witness councils sharing their original teachings and wisdom from the ancestors;
fulfilling our spiritual purpose, thus birthing clear decisions and manifesting
a conduit of hope for the future wisdom keepers of the world.
Humanity has waited for the day of peace and harmony
in this world for thousands of years. We are moving in a new direction for
present civilizations to reawaken and heal our ancestral memories to the fullest
potentials. The time has come for each individual to look for the healing of
their Ancestral memories, for a new direction to move forward. Through
reconnection to all of the ancestral memories, the seen and unseen from the
past, present and future unfold. A proclamation will be made for the ancestral
memories to be healed for all time and space.
We are now living in a time of our truth and an
intertwined field of destiny mending the circle of life. Let us look at the
truth: the tree of life, the seed of life, the flower of life. The world has
awaited a renewed life’s plan; the next 500 year prophesy calendar. The
ancestors left all Nations with specific instructions and responsibilities to
live by. Destiny brings us all to this point in time. The men and women of
wisdom have returned. History and Herstory is unfolding in front of our very own
eyes.
Wisdom Keepers and Youth Councils are being called to
participate in this historic and extraordinary event. We truly believe that each
participant and pilgrim will witness and experience a spiritual epiphany of
profound proportions. Through humanity’s enlightenment, once again we will live
in balance and harmony with Mother Earth. All is in divine timing!
One Mayan prophecy states, “At the time of the 13
Baktun and 13 Ahau is the time of the return of our Ancestors and the return of
the men of wisdom.” “That time is now,” says Grandfather Alejandro Cirilo Oxlaj,
President of the National Mayan Council of Elders of Guatemala.
The
Institute for Cultural Awareness is a 501c (3) non-profit cooperation
coordinating this monumental gathering.
The vision of ICA is strong and
motivated with a desire to build a better future for our children. Your support
will provide a firm foundation to create a broader expression of service for
humanity.
Our goal is to raise 1.5 million dollars for the
Return of the Ancestors Gathering. To learn more about how you can support
ICA and the preparations for this gathering, please feel free to contact ICA
