Built entirely by volunteer labor, the Peace Pagoda was inaugurated in 1985, one of approximately 80 worldwide. Nipponzan Myohoji is a Buddhist religious order founded by the Most Venerable Nichidatsu Fujii in 1917. In the course of his life spanning 100 years (1885 - 1985) Fujii Guruji walked and prayed for peace beating a prayer through many parts of the world. He instructed his disciples to do

the same. He also urged the building of Peace Pagodas to be places of individual and collective focus on peace. Fujii Guruji also lived with Mahatma Ghandi in India and supported the non-violent independence movement of the Indian people.

Please help us keep the promise of a suitable monument strong. This monument will represent many Northeastern tribes who suffered the costs of colonization and erasure. Histories tell us that tribes from all over the Northeast gathered here during the prolific fish runs for millennia, about 12,000 years, Boundaries were fluid. Tribal kinships and travels between the coast and the Valley were commonplace, frequent and recounted in early historical narratives, including those of Weetamoo, Pocasset Wampanoag, a powerful female leader and warrior. Therefore, collectively supporting the building of a prominent Indigenous created structure at the Great Falls will honor and reflect the stories all the area tribes, not just those whose homelands border the Pocumtuck Homelands. https://givebutter.com/indigenous-1676-memorial Enjoy this video taken two weeks ago on May 16 at the deed exchange at the Gill monument site, Thanks to Dave W**d for the film. https://youtu.be/32ndrDye6Q8 And thanks for the beautiful weather that day!
