Land Acknowledgement:
We begin today by acknowledging that we walk upon the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples and we recognize their history, spirituality, culture, and stewardship of the land. We are grateful to all Indigenous groups for their commitment to protect the land and its resources and we are committed to reconciliation, partnership and enhanced understanding.
We acknowledge the land we are meeting on here in the Greater Toronto Area is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Wendat, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Anishinaabe Peoples, and is now home to many diverse peoples.
We would also like to acknowledge the land we are on is at the meeting place of two treaties, the lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit and those of the First Nations of the Williams Treaty.
We would thank them and other Indigenous Peoples for sharing this land with us.
We also acknowledge and recognize all of the World’s Indigenous Peoples as stewardsof Mother Earth.

"Sawubona” Means:
"I see you; I see myself in you; I see your hopes, your dreams, and your struggles"; I see your ancestors as well.“
Because interconnectedness does not end with the two people who are greeting each other; it extends to include the ancestors.
All beings and Mother Nature are interconnected; there is no sense of being separate.
I see myself in all beings, and therefore, if I harm other beings or Mother Nature, it translates into harming myself.

New Year'sDay
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year's_Day
New Year'sDay is a festival observed in most of the world on 1 January, the first day of the year in the modern Gregorian calendar.
1 January is also New Year's Day on the Julian calendar, but this is not the same day as the Gregorian one.
Whilst most solar calendars (like the Gregorian and Julian) begin the year regularly at or near the northern winter solstice, cultures that observe a lunisolar or lunar calendar celebrate their New Year (such as the Chinese New Year and the Islamic New Year) at less fixed points relative to the solar year.
... In the present day, with most countries now using the Gregorian calendar as their civil calendar, 1 January according to that calendar is among the most celebrated public holidays in the world, often observed with fireworks at the stroke of midnight following New Year's Eve as the new year startsin each time zone. Other global New Year's Day traditions include making New Year'sresolutions and calling one's friends and family.
New Year'sDay is a statutory holiday in all Canadian provinces and territories.

Note: The first land massesto greet the new year are Kiritimati Island and a string of 10 other mostly uninhabited atolls in the central Pacific Ocean. One of the 33 islands that make up the Republic of Kiribati, Kiritimati is located almost directly south of Hawaii.
... The last inhabited places to celebrate are the islands of Niue and American Samoa to the southwest of Kiribati in the South Pacific.

National Bird Day
https://nationaltoday.com/national-bird-day/
National Bird Day is scheduled to coincide with the annual Christmas Bird Count, which lasts three weeks, and is the largest citizen science survey in the world, keeping track of America’s wild birds.
National Bird Day is a time to think about birds, how they live, what they need, and how we treat them... becaause each year, millions of birds are captured from the wild or produced in captivity for commercial profit or human amusement, only to languish in conditions that fail to meet the instinctive behavioral and physical needs of these wild animals.

Additional info:
Blockchain technology consists of a growing list of records, called blocks, that are securely linked together using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data.
Blockchain helps in the verification and traceability of multistep transactions.
By eliminating the middleman, or data gatekeeper, blockchain allows companies to quickly and easily trace products and transactions all the way back to their roots. Blockchain Eliminates Human Intermediaries and barriers to entry. With blockchain, information can be verified instantly and easily without the need for third-party involvement.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/EGCDTI/
Promoting all of the various global programs of "Life Value" Peace Education
Our overarching message is Simple:
"Everybody wants to -- and LOVES to -- collaborate!"
We are a "one buttock" movement about "JOY" -- enjoyment of the things in life that are
actually important -- like the "sparkle in people's eyes". We have a Long line Vision to
awaken possibility in other people, make other people powerful, and open up the "Cosmic
Laughter" so that we can all get "A's" in Life!
We are inventing something that will light up EVERYONE's life and 'Move the goalposts' by
telling STORIES, that engage, fascinate and radiate possibility for a truly better future and
encourage *direct action* within our own communities to make that better future a reality.
Global Cooperation Day -- which occurs every October 4th -- is also a Celebration... a fun
and sustainable way of changing the paradigm that defines our modern culture... from one
that is "materialistic" (oriented around "things") to one that is "life-oriented" (and
therefore focused on people and planet -- the dynamic living ecosystems that support all of
us).

    Zoom access: 2021-23 IndigenousGlobal Unity (IGU) Summit https://indigenous-global-unity-summit.eventbrite.com Land Acknowledgement: We begin today by acknowledging that we walk upon the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples and we recognize their history, spirituality, culture, and stewardship of the land. We are grateful to all Indigenous groups for their commitment to protect the land and its resources and we are committed to reconciliation, partnership and enhanced understanding. We acknowledge the land we are meeting on here in the Greater Toronto Area is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Wendat, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Anishinaabe Peoples, and is now home to many diverse peoples. We would also like to acknowledge the land we are on is at the meeting place of two treaties, the lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit and those of the First Nations of the Williams Treaty. We would thank them and other Indigenous Peoples for sharing this land with us. We also acknowledge and recognize all of the World’s Indigenous Peoples as stewardsof Mother Earth. -- "Sawubona” Means: "I see you; I see myself in you; I see your hopes, your dreams, and your struggles"; I see your ancestors as well.“ Because interconnectedness does not end with the two people who are greeting each other; it extends to include the ancestors. All beings and Mother Nature are interconnected; there is no sense of being separate. I see myself in all beings, and therefore, if I harm other beings or Mother Nature, it translates into harming myself. -- International Day of Epidemic Preparedness, 27 December https://www.un.org/en/observances/epidemic-preparedness-day The first ever International Day of Epidemic Preparedness was held on 27 December 2020.

Other global New Year's Day traditions include making New Year'sresolutions and calling one's friends and family. New Year'sDay is a statutory holiday in all Canadian provinces and territories. -- Note: The first land massesto greet the new year are Kiritimati Island and a string of 10 other mostly uninhabited atolls in the central Pacific Ocean.
