Eagle Wings of Enlightenment Center Celebrates 35th Anniversary
October 22, 2020
Eagle Wings of Enlightenment Center, a center in South Los Angeles dedicated to peace and non-violence, celebrated its 35th Anniversary on Saturday, September 26, 2020. Honor was given to the Ancient Ceremonies offered by the Native Chiefs and Sacred Grandmothers of Turtle Island. Their legacy, which goes back to the beginning of time and not just 500 years as often cited, is often misunderstood. During the anniversary celebration, Rev. Mataji, founder of the center, told stories of their legacies, aided by pictures and songs. Included were stories on the great Lakota Nation, the Ancient Pueblo People, and the Chumash People.
