Welcome to PULL TOGETHER NOW (PTN), a global family who accepts our sacred responsibility to care for peace, children, family, community, and Mother Earth before all else. We hold the long-view and strive to be the “Good Ancestors” our sacred children and future generations of Life need us to be. From the 4-Directions, we are returning to our ancestral roots ─ re-membering, renewing, and protecting our sacred connection and relationship with each other and our Mother, Earth ─ our only home. Good Ancestors are transcending cultural, social, political, geographical, and other imaginary boundaries for the peaceful, healthy, equitable world we know is possible, and The Future deserves.

PTN creates opportunities to gather with deep gratitude for what holds us together where we live, work, play, and pray!  We’re celebrating the beauty within and around us by sharing our stories and songs - ancient and new, our ceremonies, living knowledge and know-how, the arts, and Creator’s real food from the sacred Water and Land that we belong to, protect, and love.
Our collaborations honor, connect, and lift up Good Ancestors where we live and beyond. We’re pulling together in ways that broaden our horizons, seed trust, and catalyze action for the common good ─ face-to-face and place-to-face. Good Ancestors leave no one, no place, out or behind.

The Path We Walk begins inside each of us with this fundamental question:
How are we caring for peace, ourselves, and the everlasting well-being of our children, their children’s children, families, communities, sacred Water, Land, Fire, Air, and generations of other living beings?

PTN invites you, your family, and friends to join an ancient tradition with no end:

The Ancestors’ Relay >
Getting back to caring for peace, children, family, community,
and Mother Earth before all else!

We’re honoring, defending, and relaying what matters most ─ living with a sacred regard for the Web of Life:
> love, respect, and protect our children and get to know each other across the Homelands we belong to. Nurture children with love to be strong spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Work together. Live in ways that make it possible for everyone to live meaningful lives with dignity and enough.
>respect, protect, and fairly share Creator’s gifts: sacred Water, Air, Land, Fire, Seeds, Food, and Medicines… Strive to thrive in balance with all communities of Life.
> honor, protect, and help Elders and Knowledge-holders with the relationship to sacred Water and Land to care for all people and the rest of Nature. Preserve, share, and apply land-based living knowledge. Learn how to flourish in sacred balance with The Web of Life.
> transcending imaginary barriers to free the world from systems of domination and greed driving perpetual war, genocide, ecocide, and “artificial intelligence”. Unmask and reject predators vying for power over everyone and every place, intent on commodifying every expression of Life by any means, no matter how ruthlessly.

Carry one, give some! Please share The Ancestors’ Message Stick, a symbol of love and solidarity with other Good Ancestors. It carries promises, information and knowledge of critical importance to all people, and songs, stories, prayers, art, dreams,seeds, gifts, invitations… It represents humankind’s living memory from the 4-Directions with wisdom, experience, keen observation, and spiritual insights gained over long periods of time. The color purple reflects the blending of beauty and goodness in and around us that serves the well-being of all people and Mother Earth. We are filled with the power of survivors, ancestors who made our lives possible and whose love, sacrifice, creativity, and dreams we carry. Good Ancestors 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. We honor the protocols of reciprocal relationship rooted in Natural Law, not the hierarchical law of man that perpetuates domination and destruction of Life.

Good Ancestors do not look away.
We have witnessed and experienced atrocities and remember and tell it like it was, and is. We prioritize strengthening relationships by listening to each other, and respecting and working with land-based knowledge holders across the homelands and water we belong to, protect, and love. We are re-membering how to care for peace and place and one another, now, and forever.
