PULL TOGETHER NOW (PTN) is a global family of Good Ancestors who accept our sacred responsibility to care for peace, children, elders, and Mother Earth, before all else. PTN creates opportunities for us to gather and share what holds us together for the benefit of all Creation → our ancient and new stories and songs, ceremonies, values, traditions, living knowledges and skills, the arts, and sacred Water, and real-food from Nature and neighbors close to home. PTN is continuing an ancient tradition that has no end:

The Ancestors’ Relay→ calls us to be Good Ancestors face-to-face and place-to-place.
May we know them. May we be them. May we nurture them in the healthy, secure, just, and equitable world they deserve. The Path We Walk starts within and at home and leads us to the confluence of enduring love and compassion and care for one another and our Mother, Planet Earth.

The Ancestors’ Message Sticks or bundles we carry represent our collective ancestral memory that carries wisdom, experience, keen observation, and spiritual insights gained over long periods of time. Good Ancestors look back and forward across countless generations for guidance that illuminates humanity’s genuine Life-affirming path forward, inclusive of all Peoples without preference for any cultures, nationalities, spiritual traditions, status, age groups, or place on Earth. We follow the protocols of reciprocal relationship rooted in Natural Law , not the hierarchical law of man that perpetuates domination and destruction of Life. We are grateful for the ancestors who made our existence possible, and whose love, sacrifice, creativity, and dreams we carry. Becoming a Good Ancestor begins at birth and continues until we cross over, always caring for peace, children, elders, and Mother Earth before all else. Good Ancestors leave no one, no place, out or behind.

The Ancestors’ Relay→ priorities:

• re-member, renew, and heal our relationship with sacred Water, Land, Sky, the Cosmos, and each other.

• gather and engage in action with compassion that broadens our horizons, relays land-based community knowledge, seeds trust, and grows mutually beneficial cooperation for the common good.

• honor, uplift up, protect, and connect the voices of Knowledge-holders and Caretakers with special skills and knowledge of the teachings of the Land, Soil, Water, Medicines, and RealFood from Nature and neighbors close to home. Take only what you need from Mother Earth and each other.

• Express gratitude for the Gifts of Life; celebrate beauty within and around us, together. Love one another.

Good Ancestors ignore the propaganda of division and hate as we seek to end the systems of domination vying for supremacy over everyone, every place, every form of Life, and every thing by any means. We’re asking, “Will The Future remember us as the visionary, courageous ones who rose up to bring peace to the world? Or will we remain passive and silent behind imaginary barriers, enabling the silos of criminal psychopaths to perpetuate their centuries-old agendas of war, genocide, and ecocide at all cost, including nuclear annihilation that will leave no one ─ no Life ─ behind?”     

“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!” ― Elder Be’sha Blondin, Sahtu Dene Nation    

What’s your story? How are you? Who are you? Where do you come from? Where are you headed? What kind of world do you want to live in and hand off to The Future? What does Mother Earth need from us now to help her heal herself? Thank you for making a positive difference where you live!
