The dominant race, of power hungry, disrespectful people did change the world of the Native People, for them there was no stopping it. That same dominant society continued like an express train along the tracks of destruction, until it arrived in these times. Here awaiting that train should be people who have the ability and power to stop the devastation of our world. That means all of us, from all races, joining together to halt the environmental collapse, and restore the balance the Old People knew we had to have." - Gloria Hazell

 

Hello and welcome to the Native American section of our Centre. In this area you will learn about the sacred Chanupa or Pipe that comes from Pipestone in Minnesota where I lived for a number of years. Chuck Derby, (Dakota) has joined me on this section. I have worked with Chuck in Pipestone and Europe for many years (see photos below) and know that his knowledge and experiences are authentic.

There are a number of issues regarding this sacred area where the stone to craft the Pipe comes from and you will find out about those here as well. I have also added an article that I wrote for a conference at Augustana College in South Dakota, USA.

Also in this section will be a place where Native Americans living away from home in Europe can get together for friendship.

We will be adding to this section all the time so please keep returning here. You are most welcome.
