WELCOME TO KINDRED SPIRITS, IRELAND, 2022
Welcome to Ireland! We are so happy you are here!
We cordially invite you all to join us in the commencement of a sacred journey together, starting with a celebration of the spirit of generosity and kindness embodied in the Kindred Spirits Sculpture, honouring the loving gifts of the Choctaw Nation to the People of Ireland. Present will be leaders from the Navajo Nation, the Cherokee Nation, and Crow Creek Sioux and joining us for the conference via zoom Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr., Chickasaw and Ihanktonwan Dakota Nations, among others.
These leaders, together with our kind hosts from the Island of Ireland, will celebrate and give thanks for the beautiful connection among our Nations, and our shared vision.
Building on this wonderful example of deep connection, love, and the sisterhood and brotherhood among us all, we recognize the loving wisdom of the words of Hereditary Chief Phil Lane, Jr., Chickasaw and Ihanktonwan Dakota Nations, that “we are all one human family”, and “we are all indigenous children of Mother Earth.”
Later that afternoon, commencing at 3 p.m., please join us in person from the Tivoli Ballroom in Cork City, where we will be meeting and broadcasting live to the public all around the world, and with Zoom rooms for all Peoples, Groups and Networks to join in from. We will share with the world a sacred conversation about many important matters, including those of most importance and urgency to us all. For those of you who wish to delve deeper, we invite you to read our Narrative below, contemplate, and join in the conversation with us.
Thank you all for your interest and participation! Please return to this site as we will be updating it frequently in the days prior to the commencement Celebration and the events which follow. We look forward to seeing you all, both in person, and via Zoom.
OUR NARRATIVE
As all of the Peoples of the world come together, we recognize the loving wisdom in the words of Hereditary Chief Phil Lane, Jr., Chickasaw and Ihanktonwan Dakota Nations, that “we are all one human family”, and “we are all indigenous children of Mother Earth.”
As we embrace our oneness, we can together address the following question:
Why are we here?
We are here to do everything we can to Help to Save, Heal and Transform to a sustainable Life on Earth.
Now there are myriad people, groups and organizations of all kinds, all around the world, who are also doing everything they can to help Save, Heal and Transform life on Earth. We are all trying to do our part, and we are all trying to do the right thing. But very little is changing, and far too slowly, while the forces of destruction continue their exponential advance, all but unabated, and time is running out.
So what are we missing?
One crucial thing we are missing, among others, is connection: There are at least two kinds of connections that are crucial here:
· Connections between individuals
· Connections to and between scientific groups, data and analysis.

Kindred Spirits Sculture
Our event and location is largely inspired by the wonderful “Kindred Spirit” Sculpture located in Midleton, Cork, Ireland.
An outdoor sculpture titled Kindred Spirits commemorates the link between Ireland and Native Americans. The sculpture by Irish artist Alex Pentek is a stainless steel structure of eagle feathers forming a circle and represents the gift of a bowl of food.
Kindred Spirits commemorates the 1847 donation by the Native American Choctaw People to Irish famine relief during the Great Hunger, despite the Choctaw themselves living in hardship and poverty and having recently endured the Trail of Tears. Irish donors are now citing that gesture as they help two tribes during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“This has an Irish drumbeat that carries a global resonance” says RTE.
*Please note that Kindred Spirits Ireland 2022, and KindredSpirits.Earth, have no formal or legal connection or even association at this point, with the creators or custodians of the Kindred Spirits Sculpture.
