In November of 1993, spiritual leaders from seven indigenous
nations of North America came to the United Nations to speak
their prophecies about the environment to an audience of UN
delegates and invited guests. CRY OF THE EARTH is a six-hour
documentary record of the event.
In words both fiery and poetic, the leaders stressed the urgent
need to return to a basic reverence for the planet if mankind is to
avert global ecological catastrophe.
The broadcast features presentations by Elders representing the
Hopi, Iroquois, and Lakota nations from the United States;
Algonquin and Mi'qmaq nations from Canada; and the Huichol and
Maya nations from Mexico. CRY OF THE EARTH also includes
appearances by Pulitzer Prize-winning author N. Scott Momaday,
Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs Ada Deer, and messages
from United Nations Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali and
Vice President Al Gore.
