More than 200,000 peace poles have been installed around the world. The first

was planted in Ishikawa, Japan. The Peace Poles serve as a silent visual for peace

to prevail on the planet.
 

This second San Marcos Peace Pole includes three (3) languages:

1. In English it says, “May Peace Prevail on Earth.”

2. This translates into Spanish as “Que la Paz Prevalezca en la Tierra.”

3. The indigenous Coahuiltecan language has no word for “peace,” so the phrase translated for the Peace Pole was re-phrased to “May We Walk Well With Mother Earth,” or “Na-kāi manām yō Tāp Tāi.”

The Coahuiltecan are an Indigenous people that are among those that have

inhabited the San Marcos area for 13,000 years. This Peace Pole pays tribute, in

part, to the long history of continuous human habitation in the San Marcos area.

This Peace Pole will be installed permanently in the near future. An identical peace pole was dedicated in March at Spring Lake.  Photo:  Spring Lake Peace Pole Dedication
