Path We Walk:
No child, no one, no place, left out or behind!
The circular Path We Walk guides us Home ─ together
in right and respectful relations with ourselves, each other, and our Mother, Earth.
It starts in our hearts and connects us as one with the past, present, and future.
No one walks a perfect path. Choose kindness.
We are transcending imaginary borders, barriers, and differences to share deeply,
grow understanding and trust, inspire and encourage each other, and heal.
Love – gratitude – reciprocity – courage – cooperation & mutual respect is the way.
”What are we waiting for? It’s so simple!
We are one People!
We know what we need to do!
We need to learn how to hear each other,
put aside me, myself, and I,
and then put our heads together
and heal the world!”
Carry one, give some!
The Ancestors’ Message Stick we carry and share represents love, Spirit, sacred kinship, and humankind’s living memory and knowledge from the 4-Directions. We honor the Ancestors who made our lives possible and whose love, sacrifice, creativity, and dreams we carry. We are filled with the power of survivors, wisdom, experience, keen observation, and spiritual insights gained over long periods of time. Today, we look back and forward across generations for timeless guidance, inclusive of all Peoples without preference for any cultures, nationalities, spiritual traditions, status, age groups, or place on Earth. We honor the protocols of reciprocal relationship rooted in Natural Law, not the hierarchical law of man.
Good Descendants-n-Ancestors do not look away!
We have witnessed much good, but also the bad, and remember, and tell it like it was, and is. We lift-up those bearing the burden of domination, dehumanization, ignorance, and hate, through action with compassion and love.
The Ancestors’ Promise
Welcome to PULL TOGETHER NOW (PTN), a global family that accepts our sacred responsibility to care for peace, children, one another, and Mother Earth, before all else.
We are pulling together, face-to-face and place-to-place, for the world we know is possible and want to hand-off to everyone’s children and all of Creation. We’re re-membering, renewing, and protecting our sacred connection and relationship with one another and our Mother, Earth. Good Descendants’n’Ancestors leave no one, no place, out or behind.
The Path We Walk begins in our hearts and connects us as one with the past, present, and future. Our way is illuminated by The Ancestors’ timeless knowledge and sacred instructions:
Live with Love ─ Respect ─ Honesty ─ Courage ─ Humility ─ Wisdom ─ Truth.
∙ Be of one mind. Lead by example. Give more than you take from each other and Mother Earth.
∙ Be the change you wish to see in this world. Enjoy Life.
∙ Never take hope away from people. Leave no one, no place, out or behind.
∙ Take action only if it is right and good for all children and their children’s children, for communities, and for Water, Land, Air, Fire, and generations of other living beings.
∙ The well-being of families, communities, and nations and Mother Earth is more important than the accumulation of wealth, status, or power.
∙ Respect all people’s needs and right to self-determination and freedom, to be safe and secure with access to healthy Water, Land, Seeds, Earth’s Food and Medicines, and free to enjoy ancestral traditions.
∙ Be compassionate and understand there are extremely challenging circumstances and diverse traditions for which the struggle is greater for some than others.
Participate in ceremony, pray in your way to express love, respect, and gratitude for the gifts of Life.
Understand that people are but one strand in the Web of Life that is Earth.
∙ All Life is sacred, connected, and interdependent.
∙ Whatever we do to Mother Earth, we do to ourselves and each other.
∙ Honor sacred Earth and the Life she nourishes…all inhabitants, the oceans, rivers, lakes, skies, deserts, forests, fields, valleys, prairies, and...
∙ Respect other living beings. Understand and meet their needs to thrive ─ now, and forever.
∙ Strive to live in rhythm with Life’s seasonal cycles of regeneration, of which humankind is a small part.
Honor the generations of ancestors who made your existence possible, who’s love, sacrifice, imagination, and dreams you carry.
∙ Look back and forward across generations for Life-affirming guidance, inclusive of all Peoples without preference for any cultures, nationalities, spiritual traditions, status, age groups, or place on Earth.
∙ Respect, learn from, and defend people who live on the land in ways that care for us all.
∙ Respect, learn from, and cooperate with the Original Free Nations and Peoples and the Knowledge-sharers, Elders, and those with special skills and knowledge of the sacred teachings of Water and Land, and Earth’s real Food and Medicines.
∙ Honor all treaties. Seek free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC), and where necessary, permission for the access and use of Traditional Knowledge prior to accessing or using any Original Peoples’ Traditional Knowledge, including that in the public domain.
Nurture every child with love to be strong spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically, with a deep connection to Land, Water and Home. Show them how to live meaningful lives in homes, communities, and nations where they are secure and free, generous, and able to grow old with enough:
∙ Help them remember who they are, that they were born complete ─ here now to freely share their unique gifts for the benefit of all Creation. Show them how to be respectful and kind, leaving no one, no place, out or behind.
∙ Teach them that Earth is our Mother ─ that we belong to her ─ and what befalls Mother Earth befalls all of her children.
Love and care for yourselves properly.
∙ Slow down. Listen. Take care. Help more. Cast out selfishness, materialism, and consumerism to lead a meaningful life with dignity and purpose. Enjoy Creator’s abundant gifts but take only what you need. Learn and show others how to gather, hunt, fish, and grow healthy, real, living food. Learn how to make and do real stuff. Cast out drugs and false entertainment that confuses your mind and weakens your will.
∙ If you weaken begin again. The Ancestors on The Path We Walk love you and are helping you be true to yourself, to remember and reclaim who you are, and walk in peace and harmony with every living being.
I promise, to the best of my ability, to honor this Message Stick and share these instructions with all I meet on The Path We Walk. I understand that we do not inherit Earth, but respect, care for, and defend her for future generations of Life.
As a Living Ancestor, I pass on The Ancestors’ Message Stick to other relatives, that we may honor our sacred connection and relationship with each other and other creatures seen and unseen, the oceans, rivers, springs, lakes, deserts, mountains, forests, valleys, prairies, fields and soil, Creator’s seeds, plants, food, and medicines…Sky and the Cosmos…
All That Is in the Circle of Life where we live, pray, work, and play.

You may or may not remember us, but we remember you.
You may or may not know us, but we know you.
We are your Ancestors.
We are now woven into the Circle of Life.
We embrace the stars and beyond, the earth, its water, its fire, its air.
We embrace the unborn, the children, the ancestors of the future.
We are your Ancestors. We are here. We are listening. We are watching.
We know you. We feel you. We are always with you.
You are each the sum of all your Ancestors who have gone before you.
Whoever you are, listen. Your Ancestors are within you.
Listen to each other. Each of you is the sum of Ancestors before you.
Seeing, imagining, and knowing is as diverse as the universe itself because opposites are necessary to keep the world turning and maintain its balance.
Together you can create balance.
We are here. You are not alone.
Whatever the struggle, we are here. We are within you. Listen.
You are more than you think. You know more than you think.
Listen to what is within…instincts, orientations, rituals born of knowledge and traditions long forgotten.
Listen to each other.
Each of you was born complete. Each of you has a right to be here.
It is time to relearn how to be here. But I have no role model, you say. I cannot see the Ancestors.
People are not your only role models. Look around you. Teachers are everywhere.
They are among the trees, the plants, the animals, the birds, the sea creatures, the insects.
We have forgotten how to live. But they have not. In a world older than we know, they live complete.
Like the land, a person must practice being the one whom one is meant in all one’s humanity to be.
What is asked of you is to ground yourself in your own life and let its truths emerge.
You are born complete. You are enough.
