About:

Every four years since 1992, Peace and Dignity Journeys begin their voyage across the Western Hemisphere by foot, starting from the North end of Alaska and the South end of Argentina and culminating at a final gathering in Central America, carrying prayers and messages which they received from communities along the way. Indigenous communities all over the Americas witness and partake in the tradition of receiving runners with ceremonies unique to their community.

Peace and Dignity Journeys are spiritual runs that embody the prophecy of the Eagle and Condor. This prophecy mandates that all Indigenous Peoples in the Western Hemisphere shall be reunited in a spiritual way in order to heal our nations so we can begin to work towards a better future for our children and generations to come. The 2012 run is dedicated to Water, reminding all who have forgotten the importance of water that this naturally occurring element is the shared resource of all human beings.
