Youth Prayer Run for World Peace was sponsored by the Wodakota Youth Council, a grassroots organization of Native youth working together
to protect our planet and our future. The run took us on a journey of over 1,600 miles. We met in El Paso, Texas on June 2nd; then travel
to Mexico City, Mexico, the site of Teotihuacan, for the International World Peace and Prayer Day ceremony on June 21st. Each day we
covered 40-70 miles, running relay style, with built in rest days. We were hosted the whole route by different communities who shared
their ceremonies, dances, songs, prayers, and food.
