National Day of Prayer

2011 National Day of Prayer to Protect Native American Sacred Places.
June 21 is being observed as the 2011 National Day of Prayer to Protect Native American Sacred Places and is being recognized throughout the country by gatherings and observations involving American Indians and non-Natives alike?
JUNE 17-21 SET FOR 2011 NATIONAL SACRED PLACES PRAYER DAYS Washington, DC (6/15/11)—Observances and ceremonies will be held across the country from June 17 through June 21 to mark the 2011 National Days of Prayer to Protect Native American Sacred Places.
I am guessing that being retired has left me out of the loop so to speak?
Two schools of thought about having a national day of prayer for our sacred places come to mind.
1st, it sounds like a great idea to get everyone praying at least one time no matter what the reason and if it will help protect our sacred places so much the better.
2nd, will this help protect our sacred places?
I remember the years while growing up, traveling through the Nehantic state forest in Connecticut by dirt bike in the warm weather and snowmobile in the winter.
In the winter I would travel to a spot, stop and just sit on my snowmobile in the moon light
Soon a family of deer would show up for our visit, I always had something that they loved and in the snow could use to help them get through the winter.
One day while picking up supplies at a supply company I was talking to a friend about my family of deer, I did not notice that someone else was listening in on the conversation.
After the weekend on a day that I needed to go back to the supply house a hunter came up to me and said, " tanks for the tip on the deer, I now have food for the winter". Ha, Ha!
After I told the judge as to why this hunter was in the hospital, thankfully he sent me home a free man, however, I lost a trusting, loving family of true friends.
This is why the Turtle hill village will always remain a secret sacred place!
