Columbus, Ohio, September 1-5, 2000
As for Columbus Ohio events en route of walk we would like to fix basic main
walk event asap to include with prestart publicity. Being the state capitol
we would like to get a proclamation from the governor designating Columbus
as a Global Peace Zone and including his global peace and survival issue
messages for the walk to carry and publicize and deliver with the
compilation of such letters/messages/proclamations, etc., to Washington and
the UN. In addition we would like to get Columbus Mayor's similar
proclamation of the city of Columbus as a Global Peace Zone asap. If we can
get these before Jan15 then we can announce in prewalk publicity and at the
beginning of the walk. On arrival in Columbus the walk will spend a few
days there on dates still to be set. The main event will be a walk from the
City Hall to the State Capitol to receive formally the proclamations of
Global Peace Zones by Mayor and Governor (we can use original in b/w and
color photocopies starting right away and then receive original on arrival
in ceremony presentation. Perhaps in interim you can display and copy these
proclamations locally until then.
In addition with a couple of weeks before the walk arrives (or longer as
possible) we would like the mayor and governor to proclaim the dates of the
walk's activities in Columbus and in Ohio to be Global Peace Walk Days in
Columbus and Ohio. These can then include latest peace messages from these
officials during that time frame.
Suggested time frame: Walk arrives Columbus to Mayor's office (ie, City
Hall) at Noon on Friday September 1, 2000, takes part in Labor Day weekend
events throughout town on Sat Sun Mon, and perhaps creates a daily one hour
walk in town. On Tuesday, September 5, GPW2000 walks from 11AM City Hall to
State Capitol arriving at Noon (?). Walk departs Columbus early next
morning Sept 6 en route to DC arrival at White House Oct 7, Saturday.
Other events, gatherings, potlucks, etc., can be filled in as they develop
but these are my suggestions for basic walk business events in Columbus.
We need something from you asap that we can circulate and
post on our website as soon as possible before Jan15. The main thing we
need from you is your letter of support for Global Peace Walk 2000 including
your survival issue messages that the walk can help publicize immediately
and which it will carry in a compilation of such letters and proclamations
as "The Message of Peace" to Washington DC and the United Nations.

Sunday, October 8, 2000, Global Peace Walk from White House to Ceremony at Jefferson Stone, Sunrise Circle Prayer Ceremony.
Main Dedication Ceremony, NOON
The Jefferson Stone is the Nation's original symbolic center. It is placed at the intersection of the original N/S Meridian line, which goes through the center of the White House, and the E/W line from the center of the Capitol. (both of which mark their 200th anniversary this year) It has great symbolic importance and was to have been the location for the monument to George Washington. The obelisk (begun in 1848) was too massive for the site and so it was placed off center at its present location. The original, intended, center has been neglected over the years until it is barely recognized. The plan is to rededicate the site as a sacred center. This is in motion, the site having been blessed by a number of Native American Elders since 1994. There will be a ceremonial cycle in 2000 beginning on April 22 through the eighth year of the Elders Prayer Vigil (Sept. 23/24) until October 8. Corbin Harney is among the elders who have offered a blessing to the site. (ceremony coordinator Arthur Lisch)
