1200 pen pals from Six Nations and surrounding communities in Ontario, Canada gather to meet each other for the first time and form a gigantic white pine tree -- the legendary "Tree of Peace" of the Iroquois Confederacy -- with roots wrapping around the Earth. During the gathering the children planted the Pen Pal Friendship Forest at the Tim Horton Onondaga Farm celebrating the important role forests play in our lives. June, 2011

    Beautiful!

    I hope that the pen pals get to meet once a month and do activities together. This is how you KEEP the peaceful thoughts going.

    This is the best idea that I have ever seen. It brings our cultures together and teaches our children peace. For the next one hundred years these White Pines that were planted will grow as will the peace that passes all understanding will join these children together and for the next seven generations
