A "peace pole' created by Coventry High School students is dedicated today at the Paine House Museum in Coventry. A six-sided structure, it shows the prayer "May Peace Prevail on Earth," written in six languages: English, German and French, and the ancient languages of Baelic, Breton and Native American translation. Gordon Nemier (Gordon Two Bear Stands,) a chief of the Kenner Creek Metis Clan, and Nancy Nemier (Nancy Dove Spirit Dancing), his wife, perform a purification ceremony. The event, sponsored by the Western R.I. Civic and Historical Society, followed the celebration yesterday of the International Day of Peace. The pole was designed by Sister Cities International and constructed by the carpentry students at Coventry High School. Watch video of the dedication.
