- News
The “Peace and Dignity Journeys” is an indigenous and First Nation ceremonial run that invites the participation of Native and non-Native individuals committed to the survival of Native American cultures, nations, and the uniting of the indigenous peoples across Turtle Island (North, Central and South America). With its roots in traditions of running as prayer and as an expression of indigenous cultural self-determination, the Peace & Dignity Journeys was formally established in 1990 in Quito, Ecuador at a gathering of over two hundred representatives from different Indigenous nations from throughout the western hemisphere.
The 6,000-mile, seven-month spiritual relay run takes place every four years and this year runners will begin in Fairbanks, Alaska running south and in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina running north, eventually all runners will converge and meet El Cuaca, Columbia. Tune in to hear our guests discuss this year’s significantly important Peace and Journeys 2024 ceremonial run, the organizational coordination for the preparation across Turtle Island, and how people can help and who can participate.
Listen to our guests inform listeners on the themes for each Peace and Dignity Journeys, how the climate crises are impacting the ceremony, the role of Indigenous nations and communities supporting the runners, and what are some the trial and tribulation, accomplishments and struggles, four weeks into the Peace and Dignity Journeys 2024 along the northern route which began in May 2024.
