As we proceed with editing the film, Protecting The Sacred, it is very apparent that much of the footage we recorded at the International Indigenous Leadership Gathering in Lillooet last year will be very useful in creating online segments with the elders, shaman and wise people from all over Mother Earth who were interviewed. This has always been in mind as another use for the footage.

Ya-t'-hay to all,
While the path is bright, it is long, and the end is getting closer. We should be prepared to welcome all with open arms and to talk from the heart. Rejoice in this day!!
