AMERICAN INDIAN HONOR DAY (NAIHD) is co-sponsored by Seattle Center and

Native American flute with Peter Ali (Yaqui).
The Great Circle Ceremony will be awakened at 11:30 am when all faiths
will walk the circle with the people. Native American Indian Honor Day has
been observed since the year 2000 and continues to grow. Elders, teachers,
students, leaders, and artists support Honor Day through signed petitions.
Native American Indian Honor Day provides for all tribes and cultures to
express what it is they honor in a good way that benefits the whole.
Native American Indian
Honor Day annually August 20th (The official date) is a day for
human beings. It honors the idea that each person has a gift that serves
the world, in a good way, through honor, so we may solve the many tasks
needed to build a world we love to live in and a life we love to live.
Presently there is no inclusion of long standing Native American Indian
ways in our observed holidays. We are hoping that one day there will be a
recognized holiday that is a contribution toward peace, harmony and
understanding. Honor Day is pleased to be working with Northwest
InterSpiritual Community Outreach (NICO), Seeds of Compassion, and the
Institute of Noetic Sciences.
