This episode of Keepers of the Flame is perhaps our most important show to date in terms of its message. It focuses on the Unity Ride and their travels in 2013 through Connecticut, as well as the Corn Festival in Beacon NY, on their way to the United Nations. The story of the return of Alfred Afraid of Hawk's remains is also featured. As so many people have come together in donating video for this show, there will be two shows later to cover both stories. This is a story that must be told, and must be heard. The 2013 ride is one of four, and they will return to Connecticut in 2014.

ABOUT THE UNITY RIDE
"We are trying to reconcile, unite, and make peace with everyone . . . to be Dakota means to walk in peace and harmony with every living thing"
~ Lakota spiritual leader, Jim Miller.
The First Nation Dakota People of Manitoba Canada are brought their Unity Riders to New York and Connecticut this past July and August. They rode to spread a message of peace and healing throughout the entire world. This epic journey covered thousands of miles from Canada to New York State, reaching millions of people. The riders arrived in Albany on July 27 where they for the first time in history, united with the East Coast Nations. They joined the Two Row Renewal Campaign for opening ceremonies and traveled together down the Hudson Valley on land and river. The Haudenousaunee launched their canoes the following day as the horses made their way overland. Many communities along the river hosted events giving the public an opportunity to meet these great ambassadors of peace and join them in celebration. Their journey culminated in NYC at the United Nations on August 9 where the International Code for Sacred Sites was presented.
