We, the world, has come full circle. Since Creation, man became upright and as he looked around and moved from one continent to another, creating, inventing, learning and developing his skills and becoming more and more resourceful, what was once considered sacred became a tool to enrich himself; to hold himself above others with the people he conquered and the things he gathered for himself. In just 500 years, man has almost depleted the forests, ruined the waters and poisoned the air, now we struggle once more in a different war, that to save Mother Earth and we must if we are to continue life as humans on this planet, else we all perish.
Many words and countless peoples all across this Earth has cried out in protest of the abuses of our brothers and sisters our neighbors in the workplace, abuses in our schools and on the highways, but the most tragic is the abuse on mother earth, for what we have done to her will rebound back to us. We can not call ourselves civilized until we put the weapons of war away for good and make peace within ourselves, with our brothers and sisters no matter what color he is.
On this day of great upheavals around the world, earthquakes, wars, floods in most unusual of places, we come together today to gather in unity, with our younger generations in hopes that every one listening will do one thing to preserve Mother Earth. We come from the six directions, east to west, north to south, from the heavens to the sacredness of Mother Earth, on this day to bring a message of unity.

On May 14, 2006, Mary Whitefeather Joyce had the following dream
We are all (many people for miles) are standing outside, not sure where, a place I have never been to. We are all holding hands in a prayer for PEACE. We are all dressed very colorfully, wearing colors of the rainbow. There are children everywhere as far as I can see. There are many with drums. There are 4 large pau wau size 24"-28" drums in a circle and within 4 corners as though they represent the 4 directions. As soon as I hear the drum beats I wake up! EODOn February 14, 2007 she was invited to create Drum Dance and Dream for Peace
