During seven intensive days in December 1990, 48 Indigenous Young People, 24 young women and 24 young men, representing more than 40 Tribes, from 22 States, came together in a Holistic Training Process that was integrated and balanced, culturally, physically spiritually, emotionally and scientifically.
This Holistic, Participatory Learning Process was uniquely designed by the United National Indian Tribal Youth(UNITY) in the United States and the Four Worlds International Institute( FWII) in Canada, to prepare them, spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally to become Earth Ambassadors
This is a brief video reflection, in images, words, emotions and living ceremony of their seven days, of individual and collective experiences.
Four months later, in April 1991, they gathered together, again, for seven days in Washington D.C., to finish their Holistic Training Process. At the National Mall, on the future site of the National Museum of the American Indian, they completed their four-month process, of holistic learning, deep reflection and spiritually committed themselves, in a``Staking Ceremony," to be Earth Ambassadors.
We honor the dedication, love, compassion, courage and commitment of this young generation of Earth Ambassadors. Young People dedicated to the Protection and Healing of Mother Earth and the Human Family.
This video is shared, with the heartfelt prayer, that the 7th Generation, will arise, in the future, everywhere on Mother Earth and will follow the Earth Ambassadors Path to Protect and Restore Mother Earth, each in their way. And that the 7th Generation and those generations following, who are not yet born, will courageously and wisely carry forward the Earth Ambassador's World Embracing Vision, of Justice, Peace, Harmony, Unity and Oneness with all Life, to complete victory.

Dear Sandy,
Thank you for watching. The Earth Ambassador`s continued for several years, by both with Four Worlds and UNITY, but with the Administration of the Elder President Bush and the loss of Tim Wapato as our Champion in Washington, DC. it faded away in the US due cutbacks in funding.
FWII did have follow-up training events in Aspen, Colorado and Lethbridge, Alberta and expanded the Earth Ambassador`s to include young people from all the Human Family, but due to the almost complete cut-back of funds from the Canadian Government, because of FWII`s strong position and leadership on the resolution of the Canadian Indian Residential School issues . There is actually quite a story about all this, but I will let this suffice for now.
What I am thinking about doing,, is seeing if we can have an Earth Ambassador Reunion and, with their help and mentor ship, continue locally, regionally and internationally with what we have learned.
With Warm and Loving Greetings,
Brother Phil
