Turtle Lodge Presents...
September 13 - 16, 2010, Manitou Api Petroform Site (Bannock Point), Whiteshell Provincial Park Manitoba
Since time immemorial our nations have gathered on our sacred sites. They gathered to share knowledge, medicines, ceremonies, and prophecies. Come and share your vision for the future of our people.
The Elders have sanctioned the 5th Ann. Igniting the Fire – The Sacred Gathering. Following the protocol of the old ways, the Elders will transfer their knowledge to youth and adults. This year’s focus: Kichi Mamawibiitawewin: The Great Gathering of All who Bring Voices of Sacred Knowledge from All Over the Sacred Circle from the 4 Directions.

Get a glass of clean water, hold it close to your hearts and offer a prayer. Through the Water, send a message of love and gratitude to the Earth, and to all water of the Earth that has been affected and contaminated. Send your love to the Water and to Mother Earth.
This strong love of Spirit that you will put into the Water will give strength to Mother Earth.
Go to your nearest body of Water – a creek, a stream, a river, a waterfall, lake or ocean, and pour your Water that you have blessed with your prayer of gratitude. It will be your spirit of love to the Earth that offers our best chance of survival.
