Bring all Tribes to THE CIRCLE

The circle is continuous, never-ending, meaning no beginning, no ending but one world, one universe, one tribe of people.

Before individuals were seen as separate, people lived in tribes. These were the first human societies, formed not just by family ties and geography but by shared experiences and beliefs.

Our ancestors depended on each other for survival. Their sense of self was deeply connected to their tribe. They were defined by their shared customs, traditions, values, and the land they called home.

Essentially, the tribe represents the fundamental need for connection and collective.

In today’s world, where people often feel isolated, oppressed, exploited, and depleted, the need to unify tribes is powerful. It provides a sense of purpose, community, and identity.

Why do we need to unite tribes , indigenous or adopted?

Native American cultures are incredibly diverse, with thousands of unique tribes, languages, and traditions. Despite this diversity, they share a common history of oppression and a fight for survival.

Preserving Heritage: Many Native American and other cultures are at risk of disappearing. By bringing tribes together, they can share knowledge, traditions, and languages, helping to keep their heritage alive.

Promoting Unity: Coming together as a community can strengthen all voices and create a powerful force for change. Sharing experiences and challenges can build solidarity and support.

Strengthening Advocacy: United, all tribes can more effectively advocate for their rights, protect their lands, and address issues like poverty, healthcare, and education.

In essence, uniting and educating Native American tribes is essential to protect their rich cultural heritage, build a strong community, and create a powerful voice for the future. All nations need allies and all tribes need community.
