We need each other! There is no us & them ─ just us!
The Ancestors, our human and non-human Relatives, are calling us home to each other, ourselves, and the Land and Water we belong to, share, and love.
We’re gathering, face-to-face and place-to-place, to honor and lift up the beauty and goodness within and around us and share what holds us together: our stories and songs, ceremonies, ancestral foods and medicines, the arts, sports, place-based perspectives, wisdom, knowledge, and know-how, humor, and love.
We’re getting to know each other, listening and learning, relaying thoughts, feelings, experiences, ideas, and dreams ─ healing. We strive for a world of inclusion where Spirit prevails over material things, a free world with respect for all Life, where we and all our Kin thrive in harmony with enough. We’re pulling together to be the Ancestors our children,
and all of Creation, need us to be – NOW!
PULL TOGETHER NOW (PTN) creates opportunities for us to honor and share ancient and new ways of being Good Ancestors where we live, pray, work, and play.
We invite you to join an ancient tradition with no end:
Honoring and exchanging ancient and new ways of being Good Ancestors
where we live, pray, work, and play.
We dedicate our hearts and lives to honoring our Sacred Duty of Care:
Live in right and respectful relations with one another, ourselves, our Mother, Earth,
and non-human Kin.
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. Love is our guiding light.
Our love for each other will carry us through.
Good Ancestors leave no one, no place, out or behind!
The Ancestors’ Relay includes Gratitude Gatherings on the Land we share and love. We’re getting to know each other by lifting up the beauty and goodness within and around us, and sharing what holds us together ─ our stories and songs, ceremonies, ancestral foods and medicines, the arts, sports, place-based perspectives, wisdom, knowledge, and know-how, humor, and love.
The children are asking,
“How are you showing up and helping out where you live?”
Please join us to 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.”
