Archival Collection of Talks on Various Bahá'í Subjects

Native Council of North America

1982

The opening four minutes consists of drumming and chanting. The first speaker reminds us that in the Tablets of the Divine Plan ‘Abdu’l-Baha called the native peoples to a great station. To achieve this station requires “knowledge”.

A number of indigenous North American peoples speak during this recording. We are informed that shortly before the present conference a large gathering of indigenous peoples took place on the Alberta Indian Reserve. Four hundred fifty registrants from sixty-two tribes and twelve countries were gathered.

Fifty-three minutes into the recording an indigenous man from the “south” speaks in Spanish and his words are translated into English.
