"It is our job to do the best we can where we live," Grandmother Agnes said. "Be the voice for the green, our Mother Earth, and her blood, our water."
Grandmother Agnes, 90, spoke of the exile of the Dalai Lama and of her own ancestors. While remembering the harshness of these journeys and struggles, she returned to the importance of protecting Mother Earth.
"There is life in that water and we are the Caretakers," she said urging others to let this message ripple out. She also spoke of what has happened to the Tibetan people, describing them as "very dedicated to their prayers, songs and to each other."
Actor Peter Coyote, master of ceremonies, welcomed the 51 honorees on the stage and each was honored.
Peter Coyote said, "It makes us believe in goodness once again."
During the applause, Peter Coyote said, "Each clap is a commitment to action."
