Wisdomkeepers are the guardians of nature's mysteries within the Lakota ceremonies and their practices, the medicine that is ruled by them, the songs that infuse our senses and our spiritual body, and the forces they produce that are identical to nature and its motivating power. These oral and entirely spontaneous transmissions, given by the three holy men, Joe Flying By, Dave Chief, and Leroy Curley, are a rare treasure of the highest generosity, directed for the greatest good. Their stories are told with complete equanimity, vividly conveying, without rancor or judgment, how Western civilization lacks connection to the natural world. Because passing on elders' wisdom in the oral tradition to the next generation is almost impossible, given the fact that the three important elements of the Lakota culture - the land, the people, and the language - are all but gone, the film's producer/director has provided a great service to those who have an interest in, and wish to learn from, ancient Native American teachings that have rarely been exposed.

One World in Concert invites your participation in the Lakota Hunka Ceremony, "Today, there is a pressing need for the revival of [those] human ideals which call for the dissemination of the values of understanding, tolerance, compassion, solidarity and cooperation, as well as positive emulation in the pursuit of noble objectives."

Knowledge and the courage to pursue methods and paths to achieve the highest accomplishments for the good of all, we can talk about it or we can make it happen.

One World In Concerts purpose to communicate and preserve knowledge and deeply inspiring experiences continues. We invite you to take part with us in the Native American Lakota Hunka Ceremony (The Making of Relatives Ceremony). It is the first time this ceremony has been accorded the privilege to be filmed.

The Making of Relatives ceremony will take place in the Black Hills, South Dakota, September - October 2009, and acknowledge those of you who choose to create a meaningful place for Lakota teachings and traditions in a world that today seeks tools for peace and greater understanding of its Path.

The ancient practice of assuming Hunka relationship is the binding of ties of fidelity stronger than brotherhood, or family. Lakota Elder Leroy Curley has invited Ora Abel-Russell to become his sister. It is a gesture they extend to All of Us to deepen the understanding of direct experience between our cultures and to stand up with us in this invaluable, therapeutic process of dissolving barriers, healing deep wounds and becoming brothers and sisters in reality.

Dear Friends, One World In Concert produced Wisdomkeepers, the spiritual transmissions of three Lakota Elders, to further awaken regard of the human self and establish the validity of Lakota wisdom.

Join us to explore and express our capacity to manifest a Gathering of intended Energy and sincerity of the heart to stimulate forward motion to opening ones self to spiritual evolution.
