    THE MORNING STAR INSTITUTE 611 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20003 (202) 547-5531 News Statement For Immediate Release JUNE 20-26 SET FOR 2013 NATIONAL SACRED PLACES PRAYER DAYS Washington, DC (6/16/13)—Observances and ceremonies will be held across the land from June 20 through June 26 to mark the 2013 National Days of Prayer to Protect Native American Sacred Places. The observance in Washington, D.C. will be held on Thursday, June 20, at 8:30 a.m., on the United States Capitol Grounds, West Front Grassy Area (see details under Washington, D.C. in the alphabetical listing by state on the following pages). Descriptions of certain sacred places and threats they face, as well as times and places for public commemorations are listed in these pages. Some of the gatherings highlighted in this release are educational forums, not religious ceremonies, and are open to the general public. Others are ceremonial and may be conducted in private. In addition to those listed below, there will be observances and prayers offered at other sacred places that are under threat and at those not endangered at this time. “Native and non-Native people gather at this Solstice time for ceremonies and events to honor sacred places, but everyone can honor these precious lands and waters all the time by simply respecting them and not allowing them to be harmed,” said Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne & Hodulgee Muscogee). She is President of The Morning Star Institute, which organizes the National Sacred Places Prayer Days. “Observances are necessary,” she said, “because Native Peoples are engaged in myriad struggles with developers that endanger or destroy Native sacred places.” The U.S.
