International Indigenous Council visits a possible 2010 opening ceremony venue


At the invitation of Papa Ola Lokahi, the International Indigenous Council members, Rod Jeffries (Mohawk, Ontario Canada; 3rd from the left), Dave Baldridge (Navajo, Albuquerque, USA 1st on the left) and myself (2nd from the right); pictured outside the palace main entrance are joined by the executive staff from the Iolani Royal Palace; to look at this site as a possible venue to welcome the expected 5000 delegates to the Healing our Spirit Worldwide – The Sixth Gathering. We had no concerns about the capabilities of this venue managing large crowds; such spacious grounds in the middle of Honolulu. This is one of six possible sites that the host nation is looking at.
