Two Pivotal Events of this Era: JOURNEYS FOR PEACE AND DIGNITY REUNION and THIRD INDIGENOUS SUMMIT

Tau My Relatives

Just today April 10, 2009 I had the opportunity to speak by phone with our Mexica sister Jennie Luna, who was the main co-coordinator of this past summer's East-Coast leg of the JOURNEYS FOR PEACE AND DIGNITY.

Jennie is organizing a re-union meeting of New York City area collaborators, runners and supporters this coming week where she plans to share experiences from this year's Journeys.

My conversation with Jennie covered some of the highlights of this summer's events and brought back to my mind my personal experiences with this powerful manifestation of the prophecy of the eagle and the condor. Our conversation also stimulated thoughts in my own mind about the wonderful juncture of events represented by the convergence of the P and D Journeys here in Pittsburgh this past June with the 30th anniversary re-confirmation of the 1978 historic Longest Walk
(LONGEST WALK II).

Having been a participant at the original manifestation of both of these efforts I tend to have a very strong sense of belonging to them. I participated in the original Longest Walk when it came through Pittsburgh in 1978 and I also participated in the original Peace and Dignity Journeys when they came through Pittsburgh in 1992.

By 1992 Our Caney Indigenous Spiritual Circle was in its tenth year of existence and had just made its now historic links with the New York-based Taino Resurgence movement via the visit here in Pittsburgh of elders representing the Taino Native American Association (later called Maisiti Yukayeke Taino)and so the arrival of the Journeys in Pittsburgh in 1992 was considered by me to be yet another manifestation of the overall prophecy.

Now this whole thing is coming to a head. The participation of all of us in the June, 2008 annual White Buffalo pow wow in Farmington,PA was an extraordinary confirmation of the reality and the energy inherent in this millennial prophecy. I am still moved by our wonderful photos of our participation in these two efforts, the march of the Longest Walkers through the streets of Pittsburgh, the runs into our city from New York of the P and D Journeys runners, the addition of a Caney Circle staff to the bundle of staffs carried by P and D Taino runner Maximus, the visit to the ancient ancestral archeological site of Meadowcroft Rock Shelter here in Western PA, and finally the White Buffalo Pow Wow in Farmington, PA.

I invite you to enjoy images of these experiences in the photo album of the Caney Indigenous Spiritual Circle's Yahoo Group "sobaokokoromo2" http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sobaokokoromo2/photos/album/151850976...

Now our own Taino kasike Roberto Mukaro Borrero prepares to go to Panama, coincidentally the very country which served as the focus of the P and D journeys this past summer. Mukaro is participating and representing his Taino nation in this year's Third annual Indigenous Leaders Summit in Panama. Mukaro was one of the organizers of this event at the March, 2009 co-coordinating meeting in Otawa, Ca.

Now the great prophecy of the eagle and the condor continues to manifest in his participation with our northern and southern brothers and sisters in Panama.

The voice of the Taino is a strong voice in this current era. It is an important element in the manifestation of that prophecy and, as such, I believe it is a confirmation of the message of our ancient Taino prophets Aurasurey and Guaricheanao, a confirmation of the message of the Twentyfour generation prophecy, a confirmation of the prophecy of the White Cemi that manifests every year in Jayuya, Boriken at the annual Jornada Indigena Taina

We continue to struggle for full reconciliation among our Taino brothers and sisters, as well as full reconciliation among all human beings and between humans and the ancient covenant between the human species and Mother Earth.
