The Worlddrum released !
It is with great joy and gratitude we now can celebrate the release of The World Drum from it`s captivity by US Government.
The unconditional release is, as far as we know of, historical. Never before have such a object been released unconditionally from the US Department if Fish & Wildlife and the US Department of Homeland Security.
This “victory” and celebration have become possible thanks to:
Charlie Fife of Metis Nation – Canada and
Amanda Morningstar Moore of Manataka/AIC – American Indian Council – US,
in cooperation with Maureen Angela Blanchard of the US Embassy in Canada together with Annie Prigge of Canada`s Department if Foreign and International Affairs,
and several others involved.
We in The World Drum Project would like with much respect, to express our warm and grateful thanks to all those involved in the release of The World Drum, and especial Charlie Fife who have been most dedicated to this matter.
Also we would like to thank for all support from both participants around the world, as well as other people who have contacted us regarding this matter and who have been ready to take further action if needed.
Also our thanks go to the US Department if Fish & Wildlife and the US Department of Homeland Security Officials who`s realities would have never had the opportunity to be effected by The World Drum and it`s Sacred Mission, but who through this occurred situation got to know The World Drum`s Sacred journey.
Fortunately, with the understanding that love is our most powerful weapon, this matter have now been solved and The World Drum released. Knowing the way of our Creator sometimes can be difficult to understand, we also know that all happens for a reason. And what we see now is that the situation occurred all together have united and brought people together in the Spirit and the Mission of The World Drum.
The World Drum will now be returned to Charlie Fife – Metis Nation in Canada untouched and with all objects and bundles attached. Knowing that attached objects and bundles may create several problems many places in the world in the future and one of the goals for The World Drum is to be in motion, we have decided to remove all objects from The World Drum.
These objects and bundles are sacred and will of that reason be treated as this. Removing these objects and bundles will be done during a sacred ceremony with Oshawa Metis Council.
This will be done with the exception of the one feather attached to The World Drum on it`s birth and which is a part of The World Drum. A documentation of its orign and how it become in possession of the Sami-Medicineman (Sami is the Indigenous People of Norway) who made The World Drum will follow The World Drum`s further journey.
APTN – Aboriginal Peoples Television Network caught interest of this matter and had decided to do a special report on The World Drum and it`s lates.t adventures. As it seems at this time it is possible that they will make a special report on the ceremony regarding removal of the sacred objects. After this ceremony The World Drum will be sent back to Manataka – American Indian Council in US, so that their organisation can be able to carry out the planned ceremonies before The World Drum continues it`s journey to Europe.
Finally we would like to share some of the words from Charlie Fife of Metis Nation after he received the message that The World Drum would be released:
“The Gitchie Spirit Warriors
This is the story of The World Drum and the Eagle Feather and how they united to challenge two of the most powerful offices the world has ever known; The United States Department of Fish and Wildlife and the powerful Department of Homeland Security.
It is a win/win story of how the Eagle Feather used it`s power to raise the issue of The World Drum to an International status, and how The World Drum used it`s powers to raise awareness of the Plight of the Eagle Feather, both on a World stage. Like two of the greatest warriors, uniting to go into battle.
Like the story of the Eagle and the Condor, uniting to gather strength to speak with one voice for all of the America`s Indigenous Peoples on the world stage, the story of the Spirit of the Feather and the Spirit of The World Drum is also a great occasion that all mankind has a stake in.
We are ALL connected
Charlie Fife
Human Family”
With these words we thank the Creator of all things, and look forward to the continuing journey of The World Drum. The beat of the drum is the beat of Mother Earth as it is the beat of all that dwell upon her.
