Greetings!
We are
very pleased to report that the City of Ottawa
has formally expressed its support for the
National Indigenous Centre in correspondence to
the Prime Minister, Premier of Ontario and
others, and I am attaching the related documents
for your information.
The
momentum to see the concrete manifestation of
the vision is growing; and Canada's recent
signing of the United Nations Declaration on the
Rights of Indigenous Peoples adds impetus to the
effort.
Please
send, (maybe for some of you once again), your
words of support for this vision to the Prime
Minister, to Paul Dewar , the local MP who has
advocated for it twice in Parliament, and Mauril Bélanger,
the other local MP long interested in the
project, Circle of All Nations and others(pm@pm.gc.ca, DewarP@parl.gc.ca, BelanM0@parl.gc.ca, circleofallnations@sympatico.ca) -
and lets make that groundswell of support heard
at this time of the International Human Rights
Day and the closing of the United Nations Decade
for a Culture of Peace!
Grandfather Commanda is now 97, still very
active, but also frail, and he counts on those
of us who have been touched by his tireless
efforts, to ignite his prayer for his beloved
Turtle Island and Mother Earth, for Indigenous
Peoples and Indigenous wisdom, for individual,
community and global healing, and for peace,
reconciliation, love, creativity and joy in all
our lives - so please spread the message along!
With warm
greetings from Grandfather Commanda - and many
thanks for your support over the years.
