His Native name is Dawn Wolf, and he is a Keeper of Stories and a Grandfather-Teacher from an old way of teaching. As a Facilitator, he has worked on the development of young people in the communities he has been asked to work in the important work of initiation. He has worked with gangs, broken men, helped to develop fathers, and worked over the years with specific men to become men. He has long worked building community here in the Washington DC metro area through ceremony, ritual, story, gatherings, the written word, music and family.
