In the spirit of healing through Native traditions of prayer, song and dance,
this music compilation seeks to support the seven-month spiritual run known as the Peace & Dignity Journey.
The CD includes Indigenous artists from across borders, nations, and genres, from traditional to alternative, to hip-hop, reggae, poetry and powwow. All have generously donated a song for this noble cause.
The run honors native traditions and cultures and embodies the prophecy of the unification of the Eagle and Condor and of Indigenous Peoples across the continent. Every four years since 1992, the run has a specific prayer; In 1992 (Elders), 1996 (Children), in 2000 (family), 2004 (Women), and in 2008 (Mother Earth) specifically sacred sites.
The music within this reflective circle speaks to the various themes as well as the artists’ identity and solidarity with indigenous culture and struggles. It is a testament to the legacy and prophecy of seven generations, honoring the blood, sweat, and tears of ancestors in an offering of "Sacred Songs for Sacred Earth."
