The Story of Uncle
I recently had the pleasure of meeting of Angaangaq an Eskimo-Kalaallit Elder (see photo to right) whose family belongs to the traditional healers of the Far North from Kalaallit Nunaat, Greenland. His name means “the man who looks like his uncle” and he is affectionately called ‘Uncle’ by many. I attended an intensive weekend with Uncle called ‘Returning to the Sacred Fire’ in Orillia, Ontario where Uncle shared a teaching from the Eskimo-Kalaallit people about ‘Melting the Ice in the Heart of Man’. Uncle invites us to travel the distance from our minds to our hearts bringing about personal transformation and global healing for the times to come.
An ancient prophecy that is told by Uncle’s Elders is that one day the Sacred Fire will return home to the people on the Top of the World. July 16-19, 2009 there will be a Fire and Ice Ceremony in Greenland focusing on the significance of the melting of the Big Ice. Indigenous peoples from the Four Directions will ceremoniously bring ashes from their Sacred Fires to the people on the Top of the World and together with the newly grown trees of Greenland, a single fire will be lit melting the ice in the heart of man.
