From our Ancestors - Initiate the children


There was and it is ongoing, and good work going on in the Washington DC area. One of the movements for the last 10+ years comes from the House of One Common Unity. One of their projects took months to pull off a few years ago. In the end it was successful. What they did was develop the old with the new and created an initiation process for 16 young Black teenagers from Washington DC. The last and an important part I played in was being the pourer for the Sacred Lodge ceremony with my wife present and assisting us, and a fellow Wisdom Keeper, Pegi. This completed the initiation. The transformation from child to adulthood was beyond words to describe the moment they emerged from the sweat lodge initiated. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 4.24.15

Here is the trailer for the film, Fly by Light, that came out of this work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zPNnIysvb4 !!!!

The film has won international awards.

"Twenty years from now you will be more dissappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
