This is the territory governed by the treaty of the Dish with One Spoon. Gradually the nations that were party to that treaty will bring back their understanding of the treaty, renew it with  each  other and the true law of the land can be re-established. 
But our relatives can't wait for this process. The children of all of them are in peril. It is said that the bear circles the village keeping a watchful eye. In times of great danger it goes to the centre of the village and faces the danger. All of our villages are in great danger. Our ceremony leader is Bear clan. Following her, we are coming to the centre to face the danger. It is time for the prophecies to be fulfilled, for Indigenous people to show the way in support of life.
 
The time is now, to unite all nations. All are welcome to join the Ceremony Honouring Fire. We especially encourage Indigenous women and women of all Nations who are party to the Dish with One Spoon. Following the ceremony we will share some of what has come regarding protecting the land.

Ceremony leader: Giidaakunedaad (Nancy) Rowe
