Native Nations Convene Spring Summit to Fulfill Pre-Columbian Peace Prophecy - by Paul West Lake Titicaca, Peru - As the world stands on the brink of all-out war, this spring equinox, indigenous leaders and tribal elders from throughout the Americas will make the long journey to Peru for a special summit convened to fulfill their peoples' Pre-Columbian peace prophecy. From March 19-23, some of the last living direct descendents the new world's first nations will gather on the shores of Lake Titicaca, Peru for inter-tribal ceremonies and cross-cultural exchanges intended to realize their traditions' 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 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 Native American nations as the story of The Eagle and the Condor, has been believed by many for centuries to be a precursor to a new era of peace and prosperity that will begin in the Western Hemisphere and spread throughout the world. The symbolic story states that when the Condor of South America flies again with the Eagle of Central and North America, peace will reign on earth. The elders of Peru--keepers of the ancient Incan peace vision--view their coming together at this time as the prophesy's long-awaited fulfillment and have called on their counterparts from throughout the Americas to be present at this historic event. Peaceworkers around the world will also participate through synchronous ceremonies held at sacred sites from Africa to Asia. "Contrary to popular belief, Armageddon and the Apocalypse are not inevitable"; shares summit organizer Adam Yellowbird DeArmon. Globalization has brought us to the brink of a new civilization, and we must now vision 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."North and Central American Attendees
