Tracing Roots of Peace, A Weekend of Healing takes place November 3, 2007 at Song Mountain, Tully.

The celebration features art, music, and sharing based on Native American traditions.

Inspired by the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) teachings of the Peacemaker, the celebration offers activities that are healing, fun, and educational. Iroquois Prophecy says all people will hear the message of Peace. It is believed we are all part of that Prophecy.

The public is invited to join the Tracing Roots of Peace Celebration.

Saturday offerings include traditional food, native art, story-telling, song and Prayer by Diane Schenandoah, Peacemaker’s Story told by Kevin Deer, Prayers of Peace, Tree Planting Ceremony, Spiritual Readings, Music by Spirit Wing and others. Saturday’s events are from 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. with a Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) social dance at 7:00 p.m.

Location: Song Mountain Tully NY. No pre-registration required.

Recommended Donations: $15

Proceeds from this event will benefit the children of Thomas Jocko who passed away on September 17, 2006 after being struck by a car on the Onondaga nation. It was his dream that we work together to create Union and Peace in this world returning to the Truth of the Peacemaker’s Message.
