Felipe Chavez, of the Rainbow Family Kid Village Kitchen
who helped conduct the Global Peace Walk of 1995 across
country from New York to San Francisco for the United
Nations 50th anniversary to inaugurate the UN 1995-2004
International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples,
conducted a Sacred Pipe Ceremony with about 30 people
at the Washington Monument on October 24, 2003, to
inaugurate the American Peace March on as the Steps
for Peace Walk was approaching New York City on its
way to Washington DC and ending in San Francisco on
February 29, 2003. Several routes of the American
Peace March were scheduled and a couple of local
walks did happen, in Atlanta, and in Madison Wisconsin,
but for the most part this project still has not "fired up".
