Covenant | Healing Our Spirit Worldwide
Celebrating that our Creator has given Indigenous Peoples, who belong to the land and the sea, a unique
and rich collection of gifts including mother earth, the sky and water, our families and nations, our culture and
wisdom and our own lives;
Recognizing that these gifts rest at the heart of our past, our present and our future;
Believing that the Spirit is the energy that empowers us to share, replenish, protect and respect these gifts
according to the Creator’s design;
Remembering the devastation and confusion that colonization brought, including alcohol and disease;
Grieving for the land taken and the loss of communal life;
We the Indigenous Peoples of the world having come together as part of the Healing Our Spirit Worldwide
movement declare with one voice and heart our resolve to strengthen the Spirit of our Nations and Peoples, to
clear from our hearts and minds the clouds of confusion and doubt.
We hold as true and as our guide the teaching of our grandmothers and grandfathers that;
We hold a sacred role to protect, maintain and respect the Creator’s gifts so that our children and generations
of children after them may live a healthy and rich life;
Our responsibility to address, enhance and restore our sacred role; as custodians of these gifts we need to
make wise decisions because we are accountable to the Creator and to generations to come;
The health and well-being of our people and nations is built on our ability to maintain compassionate, functioning
relationships within ourselves, with the earth, each other, our families and communities;
Knowledge and wisdom are our partners and we must enrich them both and use them well if our children are
to build a meaningful future.
We commit ourselves to work in unity and with resolve to strengthen and heal the spirit of our Peoples.

A Song for the Indigenous Life Spirit of the World

(Inspired by the Healing Our Spirit Worldwide Covenant)
Stand forth, indigenous brothers and sisters of the earth
Seek and embrace the ancient knowledge of our ancestors
In order that a secure foundation be formed from the honored traits of our world
For the well-being of our young ones who will emerge like budding branches
Care well for the sacred spirit of life
That the world’s indigenous people will endure, adorned with honor and dignity
Nurture, inspire and make strong
Come together as one in the pursuit of victory
As a powerful voice that will be heard from season to season
Forever and ever, always with aloha!

Greetings Brothers & Sisters,
Welcome to Healing Our Spirit Worldwide, The Sixth Gathering. We are honoured that you have made the
journey to Hawai’i to participate in a life-enriching event that celebrates our successes and wise practices in
health and healing.
Healing Our Spirit Worldwide, in the past 18 years, has journeyed from its beginnings in Edmonton, Canada
to Sydney, Australia, to Rotorua, Aotearoa (New Zealand), to Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA and back to
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The Sixth Gathering here in Hawai‘i is hosted by Papa Ola Lōkahi. We honour
Papa Ola Lōka¬hi and the Hawaiian community for their dedication and commitment to continuing the journey
of celebration with the richness of their culture. A vast selection of workshops will be presented that truly rep-
resent the wise practices of our people. Enjoy!!
HOSW has evolved with each destination - from alcohol & drug programming to healing initiatives, to re-
search, to health, to governance while at the same time celebrating our culture as the foundation of our jour-
ney. Imagine our communities celebrating one another through our rich cultures, freely sharing information,
working together to achieve maximum results in our programs, and lastly, strengthening the circle of healing,
health and wellness. This is the vision of Healing Our Spirit Worldwide.
Our youth and our children are the future of our Nations. It is time for us to dedicate much of our time, efforts
and love to securing our future through the health & healing of our youth and children. We are committed to
hearing and honouring the voices of our young people. We hope you will join us as we celebrate our future
lead¬ers!!
The International Indigenous Council for Healing Our Spirit Worldwide was established in 2003 to provide
direc¬tion, continuity, collaboration and focus to Healing Our Spirit Worldwide, not only for the Gatherings,
but be¬tween the Gatherings to strengthen the spirit and intent of the movement. We feel privileged to work
with Papa Ola Lōkahi to provide an environment that celebrates the richness of our cultures, our programs, our
research and the great strides we have made in health, healing and wellness.
Our healing and wellness is truly honored when we make opportunities for enhancement through sharing,
unity, inspiration and celebration. Connecting with each other during the Sixth Gathering will truly strengthen
our spirit as we make the journey toward global and spiritual oneness.
In the spirit of celebration,
Rod Jeffries, Canada

SEPTEMBER 3 – 10, 2010
On behalf of the people of Hawai‘i, we send our personal greetings of aloha to everyone
gathered for the Healing Our Spirit Worldwide – the Sixth Gathering at the Hawai‘i Convention
Center.
The Healing Our Spirit Worldwide movement is valuable for indigenous peoples across the
globe and will focus on the successes, wise practices and common issues in health, healing and
addictions within indigenous communities. The Sixth Gathering strives to embody the wisdom of our
kupuna, the aloha of the land and the indigenous people of ka pae ‘aina Hawai‘i.
We extend a warm mahalo to everyone who contributed to this exciting event, including host
Papa Ola Lokahi, the Native Hawaiian Health Board and the International Indigenous Council. We
are certain Hawai‘i’s beautiful landscape, rich cultural heritage and unique spirit of aloha will be
invigorating and inspirational. Best wishes for a memorable event, and continued success in future
endeavors.

THE HORSE BOY

When his son Rowan was diagnosed with autism, Rupert Isaacson was devastated, afraid he might never be able to communicate with his
child. But when Isaacson, a lifelong horseman, rode their neighbor’s horse with Rowan, Rowan improved immeasurably. He was struck
with a crazy idea: why not take Rowan to Mongolia, the one place in the world where horses and shamanic healing intersected? The
Horse Boy is the dramatic and heartwarming story of that impossible adventure. In Mongolia, the family found undreamed of landscapes

Ka Papa Lo‘i ‘o Kānewai - 12:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Location: Ka Papa Lo‘i ‘o Kānewai, Hawai‘inuiākea, School of Hawaiian Knowledge, University of Hawai‘i, Mānoa
The ‘Ōpio (Youth) group will be visiting Ka Papa Lo‘i ‘o Kānewai located at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Hawai-
ian Studies campus. Ka Papa Lo‘i ‘o Kānewai is a restored traditional Hawaiian irrigated terrace used for growing kalo,
which is made into poi, the “Hawaiian staff of life.” Ka Papa Lo‘i ‘o Kānewai is a learning center for both the University
of Hawai‘i and the community.
On this huaka‘i (excursion), nā ‘ōpio (youth) will learn about the cultural importance of kalo as an ancestor of the Hawai-
ian people, a healthy alternative, and a traditional means of subsistence.
He Mo‘olelo Pōkole: A Brief History
Ho‘okahe Wai Ho‘oulu ‘Āina, to make the water flow, make the land productive.
In 1980, several UH students re-discovered the abandoned ‘auwai (watered tract) and began growing kalo and other
indigenous and endemic Hawaiian plants. With the “Hawaiian Renaissance” movement taking shape throughout Hawai‘i,
the project Ho‘okahe Wai Ho‘oulu ‘Āina based on the philosophy, “make the water flow, make the land productive,” was
started by the Hawaiian Language club Hui Aloha ‘Āina Tuahine. The vision for the revitalization of this site, as outlined
by the students, became even more evident once the project began to take shape. With the guidance of kūpuna (elders),
such as Harry Kūnihi Mitchell, the traditional ‘au¬wai, fed from the Mānoa Stream, was restored to lo‘i (taro patches) and
‘ŌPIO PROGRAM
dry planting areas. Also, a hale pili (thatched pavilion) was constructed with help and guidance from kupuna Anakala
Eddie Kaanana.
Tuesday, September 7, 2010
From Mauka to Makai - 8:30am – 12:00pm
These morning huaka‘i (excursions) will be at three separate locations with three different organizations focused on the
ahupua’a ‘o Kalihi. An ahupua’a is a traditional Hawaiian land division beginning from the top of the mountain, encom-
passing a valley or stream bed and ending at the ocean. Kalihi Valley is one of the beautiful valleys of O’ahu known for
its rich soil and verdant growth. The valley is linked to traditional stories about earth goddesses Haumea and Kapō and
remained a revered place frequented by high chiefs and renowned for its plethora of fresh foods.
These morning huaka‘i (excursions) will be at three separate locations, hosted by three different organizations, yet all

O‘ahu known for its rich soil and verdant growth. The valley is linked to traditional stories about earth goddesses Haumea

The organizations the Youth will be partnering with are:
• Ho‘oulu ‘Āina - Kōkua Kalihi Valley Nature Park
• KAUPA - Kalihi Ahupua‘a Ulu Pono ‘Ahahui
• Kai Makana.
Ho‘oulu ‘Āina is a living park “…in the back of Kalihi valley, in the ‘ili of ‘Ouaua and Maluawai, the community unites
creating a land base for health called Ho’oulu ‘Aina. Children and elders of all cultures join to restore this land to health.
As we work to heal the land, we find that we, too, are healed. Working together brings us closer to each other, the land,
our cultures, and our¬selves.”

reach and action.” KAUPA focuses on stream restoration through monthly stream cleanup, water quality testing, biological
stream assessment, graffiti removal, and storm drain stenciling.

Kai Makana – Ocean Education & Mokauea Island Restoration Project
“Our vision is a healthy viable ocean environment sustained by youth, family, and communities who actively participate to
preserve, protect and care for our ocean and marine life. We envision a world where people show respect for the ocean
through their everyday actions.” Mokauea Island is one of the last Hawaiian fishing villages on O‘ahu, where once hun-
dreds thrived. These villages were once a repository of maritime skills; knowledge of the sea, currents, tides, seasonality,
the building and handling of finely crafted canoes and fishing equipment. Mokauea is unique in its historical, social, and
educational value.

Kamakakūokalani, Center for Hawaiian Studies
Hawai‘inuiākea, School of Hawaiian Knowledge, University of Hawai‘i, Mānoa
The Center for Hawaiian Studies Building is named for Gladys K. ‘Ainoa Brandt, former Chair of the University of Hawai‘i
Board of Regents and Principal of the Kamehameha Schools for Girls. In honor of her inspiring leadership and dedica-
tion to excellence, especially in the field of Hawaiian education, this center is dedicated to the spirit of Kamakakūokalani,
meaning “the upright eyes of heaven.”
At the center, or piko, of the building is a water sculpture, “Ho‘opulapula,” representing the waters of creation. Kupukupu
fern represents new life, and ‘alae pohaku symbolizes Hawaiian koko, our strong and proud Nation. From the piko, this
feature reaches up to the heavens.

The various rooms have been dedicated to the 40,000 Hawaiian akua (gods). Most rooms in the building are dedicated
to both male and female akua, in honor of the original creation principle found in the Kumulipo. Another significant fea-
ture of the building is the kū’ahu or altar, which houses the iwi of more than 90 kūpuna. Thus, Kamakakūokalani Center
for Hawaiian Studies is a sacred place, requiring us to excel to the highest, academic and cultural excellence.

islands. When you arrive on Kaua‘i, you will begin your day at Hā‘ena, known to be the birthplace of the hula, participat-
ing in the protocols of welcome by a hula hālau, and visiting a shrine to Laka, goddess of hula. Your next visit will be to
Wailua River, where your guide will show the many heiau that line the banks of the river from the mountain to the sea. The
next morning you will visit the salt ponds where the art of making Hawaiian sea salt has been passed on from generation
to generation. Finally, you will visit Koke’e, where some of the rarest plants and animals in the world reside and home to
Waimea Canyon.

A Song for the Indigenous Life Spirit of the World

Stand forth, indigenous brothers and sisters of the earth

Seek and embrace the ancient knowledge of our ancestors

Care well for the sacred spirit of life

Nurture, inspire and make strong

Come together as one in the pursuit of victory

As a powerful voice that will be heard from season to season

Forever and ever, always with aloha!
