Honoring Native America

featuring Carlos Nakai, Shawn Stevens and Cheryl Fairbanks on Indigenous Peoples’ Day Weekend

Our 2nd Annual Honoring Native America features R. Carlos Nakai, the world’s premier performer of the Native American flute; Shawn Stevens, celebrated Mohican storyteller; Cheryl Fairbanks, Esq, renowned Indigenous Peacemaker, and opening words from Lev Natan, Executive Director of Alliance for a Viable Future.

R. Carlos Nakai, Shawn Stevens, and Cheryl Fairbanks are masters of their respective craft.  We are humbled by their offering to share with our Berkshires community. This unique event moves beyond the realm of performance into the interactive dimension of participatory ceremony and collective prayer.  Each presenter’s offering will build upon the last and deepen our visionary imagination of what is possible for our community and the future of our world. 

WHO WE ARE. WHAT WE DO.

OUR MISSION IS TO BUILD ALLIANCES AND develop leadership
for bioregional climate solutions and intercultural peacemaking.

We are rooted in deep respect for indigenous principles of community and commitment to living systems, and we are working in service of a compassionate, sustainable, and viable future for our children. We fulfill our mission through council-based programs and community events, the most of recent of which was convening the Northeast Indigenous Climate Council (watch new video) and organizing Indigenous People’s Day weekend in Berkshire County, Massachusetts.
