PULL TOGETHER NOW (PTN) creates opportunities for us to honor, relay, and apply ancient and new ways of being “Good Ancestors” for the benefit of all Creation. We are pulling together where we live, work, pray, and play to help each other be the ancestors our children and the rest of Nature need us to be ─ NOW!
Now is the time to return home to our ancestral roots and re-member, renew, and protect our sacred connection and relationship with each other, Water, Land, Fire, Sky, and the Cosmos. Good Ancestors leave no one, no place, out or behind. We accept their sacred responsibility to care for peace, children, family, community, and Mother Earth before all else.
We’re carrying our Message Sticks across homelands and oceans
to help each other be Good Ancestors with love and kindness,
stories and songs, living wisdom, knowledge and know-how, healthy water and food, our ceremonies, imagination, the arts, sports, and … >
Good Ancestors lift each other up in ways that ripple out to help us all.
Our children are asking, “Are you being Good Ancestors?”
Are we?
What’s your story?
Please share how you care for peace and place and others where you live?

“Dene Ch’anie, which translates as The Path We Walk, a circular mode. Embedded within Dene Ch’anie is a Code of Conduct, according to Natural Laws. When we act outside of these Natural Laws, we upset the balance between body, spirit, heart and mind, leading to negative consequences. We need to reconnect with Mother Earth to rediscover the Natural Laws, as individuals, families and communities.”
