Talk by Vickie Downey from Tesuque Pueblo: Rekindling the Fires
Film by Vijali Hamilton: The World Wheel Journeys (27 min.)
 

Please join me to honor my father's 100th birthday to support the late Mohawk elder, Tekaroniaken Jake Swamp's vision of healing for indigenous peoples. I will have for sale my most recent sculptures and paintings, a group called Sacred Earth.

“Rekindling the Fire is a gathering of Indigenous Leaders in 2012 from the whole of the Americas. The gathering will take place on the banks of the Mississippi River in prayers of hope, love and healing so that we may return to our communities bringing a commitment to rekindle the path of our ancestors.” (Vickie Downey)

Vickie Downey is a member of the Traditional Circle of Indian Elders andYouth. The annual Council of the Traditional Circle constitutes the continuation of knowledge from traditional leaders to the younger generations.

Vijali Hamilton has dedicated her life as a peacemaker. She collaborates with diversified communities and utilizes her skills as a sculptor, filmmaker, poet, musician, and author to further this mission. Vijali started her World Wheel Project in 1986 circling the planet as she works with the arts in her quest for world peace.
