We wish to both acknowledge and thank our supporters who help make the Kateri Tekakwitha Peace Conference possible each year. We wish to thank all those who have chosen to remain unacknowledged also. We are adding names regularly and will provide links to our supporters websites as they become available. Again thank you for your patience.

On election night in 2008, people all across the world were joyful and celebrated both the election of our first African-American President and the coming end of George W. Bush’s failed presidency. With the election of President Obama, America clearly voted for change. The issue of race was also brought to center stage predominantly in a positive way. Many of us began to smile again with renewed hope and it seemed as if a soft and gentle spring breeze moved across the land.
Our conference this year is on August 14 & 15, 2009 and you can learn more about our featured speakers here:
