In an effort to help mend the sacred hoop, the Southern New England Council
of the National Federation of the Republic of the Sovereign Abenaki Nation
held a meeting of the Congress of the Councils of the Federated Tribes of
the Sovereign Abenaki Nation and a unity meeting for all interested peoples.

The meeting, held March 30th in South Attleboro, Massachusetts, attracted
over 300 people from all the New England States, New York, North Carolina,
Maryland, Florida and Odanak, Canada.

A Unity March was held, a Sacred Circle and Council Fire, Welcoming and
Honoring songs, several addresses and a potluck. Following the Meal the
group was addressed by Steven McFadden, author of many books of native
wisdom and thought and participant in the Sunbow 5 walk for peace and unity.

McFadden went into detail regarding the prophecies of the elders and the
Seven Fires Prophecy in particular. He explained the need to unify now as a
people and with all peoples to save the planet and the future.

Chief Looking Glass was host.
