World Peace and Prayer Day 2005

Paha Sapa - The Black Hills

June 21st

All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer!

Wopila Tanka Mitakuye

We gather for our 10th year celebrating our many indigenous heritages and the continued resolve to respect ourselves and the sacred places of our ancestors - the land upon which we stand.

Having completed our commitment, the responsibility now belongs to the people - to continue the protection and honoring of their sacred sites throughout the world. Please let us know if you're hosting a gathering by signing in.

We stand committed in petitioning the United Nations for an "Honoring Sacred Sites Day" on June 21st. It is our hope that someday - all people will be able to reclaim this fundamental human right.
