This is a view of the Council Circle with all of the Elders that had arrived and some of their supporters and supporters of the gathering. The Elders counciled and did ceremonies all day. At the end of the day they agreed that the Eagle and Condor where being reunited because of this gathering. They agreed that they would all continue to work closer with one another for peace and unity. They have written agreements to this affect. They all felt that this was the beginning of a long awaited healing of ancesteral memories and relatioships.
