"Gathering the Wisdom of All the Nations"

September 2nd - 5th, 2008

welcome

"On this sacred site (Manitou Api), you could not help but feel the presence of the ancestors joining us in our efforts

to find ourselves as a unique and beautiful people.

You could feel the dancing of the ancestors as songs were sung at the petroforms.

As the teachings were being delivered by the elders, it felt so good to be hearing the truth being spoken."
