World Peace Gathering - July 18th-20th, 2025

The heart of our summer event will unfold on July 18th, 19th and 20th. This Peace Gathering is a historic and profoundly spiritual occasion but also a testament to the power of unity and collaboration. It will bring together Indigenous leaders, elders, and peacekeepers from across the globe, including Chief Phil Lane Jr, the Council of the Condor, Eagle, Quetzal, and Hummingbird. We are also honored to invite Indigenous representatives from Friesland and the South Pacific nations to join us in building bridges of unity with the Indigenous People of Ireland and the European communities.

This peace gathering is not just an event but a call to action.In 2023, during the Sacred Council election at Palenque, Mexico, the Irish people were mandated with the vital role of the bridge-builders between global communities, carrying with them the guiding principles. This mandate is central to our work, and our upcoming gathering in Cork, which will serve as a platform to continue this legacy, uniting people from across the world to focus on peace-building, cultural exchange, and global cooperation.We are united in our commitment to peace, the end of all war, and the protection of Mother Earth. We will honor the Covenant and the Sixteen Guiding Principles, fulfilling our collective role as Stewards of Pacha Mama.

THE BEATING HEART OF OUR STORY, FUELING THE UPCOMING JULY 2025 EVENTS*

Kindred Spirits Ireland was formed in 2022 with a view to organise a joint Celebration and Conference in cork city, Ireland. A delegation of the Navajo/Hopi, Cherokee/Choctaw and Crow Creek Sioux nations travelled to Cork to celebrate and share in Thanks for these beautiful and compassionate Gifts; to strengthen existing bonds and to continue the story by creating more connections; where together, we can brave the realities of life while supporting each other in the hard times ahead.

The arrow had truly made its mark, through the history/story and the connections made; after the Kindred Spirits Ireland Celebration and conference, it became clear to everyone involved that the story did not end there. In March of this year 2023, representatives of Kindred Spirits Ireland were invited to travel to Palenque, to the Mayan Pyramids in the jungles of the Chiapas Mountains, Mexico, for the historic and sacred Gathering and Election of the Second Indigenous Sacred Council of The Union of the Condor, Eagle, Quetzal, and Hummingbird. This historic gathering and ceremony occurred exactly 52 years, (one full Mayan calendar bundle) after the first Gathering and Election of the Sacred Council of the Union of the Condor and Eagle was elected in 1971 at Lake Titicaca, Bolivia.

During this sacred ceremony at the foot of the Mayan pyramids, Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr addressed the other Chiefs, leaders and members of the South American and Pacific Island tribes who had travelled to Palenque for this historic gathering; he spoke of the 500 year old Prophecy and why it was now so important to build connection between all nations and how important and necessary the indigenous way and culture was to help heal our Mother (Earth). He then introduced the Irish delegation to the other chiefs and representatives and singled out the Irish people among all the nations of the West, he honoured them as True Kindred Spirits. He told the story of the Choctaw Gift of 1847 and how the Irish people had reciprocated in 2020...

“The Irish people Never forgot! In 2020 during the pandemic, when they saw their Navajo and Hopi sisters and brothers in dire need of help, they saw their opportunity to repay the kindness shown to them so many years before by the Choctaw nation. We share common history; for the Irish are not Colonizers but victims themselves of it, they too were starved and forced from their lands and fought to keep their language and their religion. They do not make War on other nations! Instead they send peace keepers and are proud of their neutrality and recognize that Unity is more powerful than separation, division and War. Though they are only a small Island country, per capita they are the biggest contributors to famine and other disaster relief efforts around the world and take in more refugees, despite their small size. They share a love and respect for nature and all beings; these are indigenous traits, inherent indigenous Irish traits, the good things in our nature. These traits are not just unique to the First Nations and the Irish, they are in all of us, because we are all indigenous! It is through these traits and through Kindred Spirits Ireland and the bridge building of the Irish people that our European Sisters and Brothers may finally recognize, that we are all indigenous of Mother Earth, we are all sisters and brothers, we are all One Human Family. It is only through recognition of the latter, will we truly unite and fulfil our duty as true caretakers and stewards of Pacha Mama. (Mother Earth).”

– Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr. Palenque March 2023

Kindred Spirits Ireland will now continue its journey forward; by honoring the Mandate given to us on behalf of the Irish people by the Chiefs and Sacred Council of the Condor, Eagle, Quetzal and hummingbird. To continue to encourage more connection between Irish individuals, groups, communities and towns, with not only our indigenous sisters and brothers of the Americas, south pacific and beyond; but more importantly! By example, help encourage the connection and the building of bridges between these groups, communities, tribes and nations with the tribes and communities of Europe and beyond. In so doing, according to indigenous prophecy, we shall unite as One Human Family and collectively choose our future path forward, with the realisation that we are all indigenous and must play our part as the true stewards of Pacha Mama. (Mother Earth)
