Chief
Jake Swamp, Wolf Clan sub-chief of the Kahniakehaka, Mohawk Nation, is founder
of the Tree of Peace Society, an international organization promoting peace and
environmental conservation. He is also the author of the children's book, "Giving
Thanks: A Native American Good Morning Message." Chief Jake Swamp travels
around the world meeting with world leaders and community groups to share the
Tree of Peace ceremony and spread the Iroquois wisdom surrounding Peacemaker Principles
and the Thanksgiving Address. The Tree of Peace Society "emphasizes individual
responsibility for one’s actions, a deep personal relationship with the natural
world, and the acknowledgment that all living things are blessings from the creator
to be treated with sensitivity and respect."
