Once at Fort Mason Park, the runners took the stage to share their message, that at this time of great global change, the promised time has come for the 7th Generation to arise and inspire all generations to heal and resolve “Standing Rocks” everywhere on Mother Earth. The Wopida ceremony, a sacred sharing of gratitude and connecting with all beings through giving, followed.
