We need each other! There is no us & them ─ just us!
PULLTOGETHER NOW (PTN) creates opportunities for us to honor, exchange, and apply, ancient and new ways of being Good Descendants-n-Ancestors
where we live, pray, work, and play.
Leave no one, no place, out or behind!
We invite you to join an ancient tradition with no end:
Teaming up across generations to honor, protect, and pass on what holds us together:
Sacred Water, Land, Air, and Fire, non-human Kin, Creator’s foods, seeds, and medicines,
our stories, songs, and ceremonies, family, and community
─ with gratitude, reciprocity, ancient and new knowledge and skills,
the arts, sports, humor, and love.
The Path We Walk
The circular Path We Walk starts in our hearts and connects us as one
with the past, present, and future.
No one walks a perfect path.
We are transcending imaginary borders, barriers, and differences to get to know each other,
sharing deeply to grow understanding and trust, healing,
and lifting up the beauty and goodness within and around us.
Love, humility, gratitude, compassion, forgiveness, trust, and mutual respect is the way.
Please join us and relay your ancient and new ways
of being Good Descendants-n-Ancestors where you live, pray, work, and play!
The Ancestors’ Message Stick we carry and share represents love, Spirit, and sacred kinship ─ humankind’s living memory from the 4-Directions, and the Ancestors who made our lives possible and whose love, sacrifice, creativity, and dreams we carry.
We are filled with the power of survivors, passing on wisdom, experience, keen observation, and spiritual insights gained over long periods of time ─ information, living knowledge, and relationships of critical importance to all people. Good Descendants-n-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.
Our Sacred Duty of Care guides us to right and respectful relations with each other and our Mother, Earth. We promise to help each other be strong spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically, and enjoy Life with a deep connection and commitment to community, Land, Water, and Kin ─ to respect and protect our only Home! We’re transcending imaginary borders, barriers, and differences to end systems of domination, dehumanization, ecocide, and perpetual war for profit by predators stalking the planet to control, commodify, and weaponize every expression of Life by any means.
We are the human family! We need each other and our Mother, Earth needs us!
NOW! ─ is the time to pull together for the benefit of all Creation,
face-to-face and place-to-place!
Earth’s children are asking,
“Are you being Good Descendants-n-Ancestors?
Do you think and act in ways that help us all?
What kind of world are you handing off to us and the rest of Creation?
Do you hear us?
How are you showing up and helping out where you live?”
Please join us and share your story!

“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.”
Elder Francois Paulette,
