Elders Gathering at Lake Titicaca, Peru March 19 – 23, 2007

Over the Spring Equinox 2007, elders from many of the indigenous tribes of North and South America will gather at Lake Titicaca in Peru.

They will sit in council and perform ceremony to beckon in the prophesied Age of Peace, 500 years of unity and shared vision between peoples who have, for the last 500 years of Darkness, been scattered and oppressed.

When the peoples of the Americas once again unite, according to the prophecy of the eagle and the condor, it will spark worldwide transformation.

Elders of Peru, keepers of this Incan vision, say that it is time for the Condor (South America) to reunite with the Eagle (North and Central America). Their mission is to formally and ritually bind the native tribes across the Americas together.

Elders from many tribes are being called to participate in this extraordinary event. Many will offer bundles and resolutions, stating the fulfillment of their own tribal teachings.

For more information about participating in the gathering or offering financial support to the Elders, please visit www.earthworksforhumanity.org or call (928) 646-3000.

Odyssey Saga Complete

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

As of February, 2007, journalist Steven McFadden has completed writing the true saga Odyssey of the 8th Fire — after 225 consecutive days of telling: a work of creative non-fiction in online evolution.

Odyssey of the 8th Fire tells the story of a epic walk across North America – from the Eastern Door at the Atlantic Ocean toward the Western Gate at the Pacific Ocean.

The historic pilgrimage for the Earth began in 1995. While the story is now complete, the walk itself is still unfinished, having been stopped 100 miles short of its destination.

The pilgrimage for the earth involved people of all colors and faiths, and was guided by ancient Algonquin, Lakota, and Hopi teachings. The telling of the walk’s tale progressed day by day on the internet since June, 2006 at http://www.8thfire.net

The teachings the walkers recovered as they crossed Turtle Island (North America) are of urgent relevance today as our deteriorating global environment threatens general stability.

Author Steven McFadden has a degree in journalism from Boston University, and 30 years of experience as a writer, teacher and speaker. He kept a daily journal during the walk, beginning in 1995. McFadden then enriched the journal so that Odyssey of the 8th Fire might serve also as a compendium of wisdom teachings of North America.
