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’re getting to know each other and pulling together to be the ancestors our children and the rest of Nature needs us to be ─ NOW!
PTN was founded in response to invitations from Elders and Knowledge Holders 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, the Cosmos ─ to be in sacred balance with all of Creation. We are a global family, united by the power of good minds, that accepts our sacred responsibility to care for peace, children, family, community, and Mother Earth before all else.
Good Ancestors leave no one, no place, out or behind.
Honoring, relaying, and applying ancient and new ways of being Good Ancestors with >
Stories and songs, living knowledge and know-how, and love,

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.”
