Keeping the Sacred Fire

When our people forget to make fire the old way, we will cease to be a people.

WHAT WE DO

Educate. Preserve. Feed.train.

For countless years, Indigenous people have lived off the land; used what was available as resources; and fed those in the community in a cooperative way. Wisdom was passed down from generation to generation. Uncle to nephew. Mother to daughter. Warrior to boy. Medicine woman to mentee. But now those skills are in jeopardy of being forever lost. The knowledge must be passed on to those who have the heart to hear and learn.

FireKeepers International connects Wisdom to Wisdom-Seekers. Knowledge to those who crave it. Food to the hungry. Encouragement to those who are struggling. Helping veterans with inner healing.
