“Steh-chas” (Marathon Park) , Deschutes Pky SW, Olympia, WA, 98511
What: 5th Annual Sunrise Ceremony Gathering ( to connect with the Sunrise Ceremony on Alcatraz on Thanksgiving) – This event is one day on Thursday November 24, 2011, sunrise 8:00 am.
The sunrise ceremony the continuing effort of a reconciliation process that is happening in Olympia. We have had dialogues with all the Native and Non Native Peoples that were willing to come and share their stories through reconciliation meetings, as well as video presentations of how our past unfolded.
Our hope is by bri…nging people together through the path of the sacred it will provide a safe place that invite natives and non natives a place to come so we are all able to build relationships between both worlds.
“I would suggest that Thanksgiving, go beyond the gratefulness of the harvest and should be dedicated as well to all our ancestors and give thanks for the things they have taught us.”- Barry White Crow Higgins
