"The 8th fire, according to our people, says that there would be individuals that would come from all different cultures and they would gather in some way to seek greater advice and direction or to collectively seek out a vision that would lead to what is referred to as the "new people" DAVE COURCHENE, JR., Ojibway elder People from all walks of life, all races and all faiths, are invited to the third annual "8th Fire Gathering" in the Northeast. Bring your passion, vision, skills, knowledge, and expertise to help create a positive future. We will continue to build on the work of last year's gathering: healing our relationship to each other and the Earth and us- ing the collective energy to weave a path of light towards a "new people". This will be a cross-cultural gathering where we will spend three days in dialogue, ceremony and celebration with the intention of making a "good way" ahead for Earth, Her children, and All Life. We will honor the wisdom and practices of Indigenous Peoples who have lived on Turtle Island successfully for thousands of years. Hear the voices of the grandmothers and grandfathers as they share the truths of their cultures. Not sponsored by any organization. This is a grassroots event.
