This video was made with great urgency on behalf of the people of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, the highest coastal mountain range in the world. The 4 tribes that live there are: The Kogi, Arhuaco, Wiwa and Kankuamo. They are its care takers and call it "The Heart of the World". Their knowledge and connection to the entire ecosystem of the Sierra with its relation to all of life on earth, has alerted them to the escalating planetary climate changes. In August of 2009 Rick Harlow and Barbara Threecrow met several Mamo (elders) in Pasto, Colombia and agreed to assist them by raising funds to fulfill a sacred journey. Together they formed "The Elders Project".  The Grand Sewkukuy, (shaman) 94 year old Norberto Torres, an Arhuaco elder, is recognized as the "Spiritual Geographer" of the Sierra.  In 2010 he will lead a small group in ceremonies at the 54 sacred sights at the base of the Sierra's inorder to activate and energize the the area and the the rest of the planet.  This is also being done to preserve the culture and traditions of these 4 ancient tribes.  Please help support this sacred cause.
