FireKeepers International is a Native American charitable organization founded by official tribal and cultural ambassadors, Chief Joseph & Dr. Laralyn RiverWind.

​

Chief Joseph has served in tribal leadership for 12 years in various capacities. His Tribal Council appointed him as War Chief and serves his people as the Ambassador of the Arawak Taino Tribe of Puerto Rico. Dr. Laralyn RiverWind is the Ambassador and an enrolled member of the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee, a state-recognized tribe. 

​

Together, they were named "Ambassadors of God" at Israel's Knesset (Parliament) on Jerusalem Day and Israel's Independence Day, 2018, by MK Yehuda Glick. They have since pursued their elders' legacy, fostering the relationships between First Nations and the indigenous people of Israel.

​

They are recipients of the prestigious White Rose Award for 20 years of advocacy for Israel. Chief Joseph RiverWind is an honorably discharged and decorated U.S. Army veteran, published author, with a Master's in Biblical Studies. Ambassador Laralyn RiverWind holds a Doctorate of Naturopathy and a Master Herbalist degree, is an honoree of She Leads America, and a co-founder of She Leads Native America.

​

Together, they advocate for Indigenous rights, teach ancient Indigenous knowledge, share traditional music, tell ancient stories, preserve traditional survival skills, train resilient communities, empower others with preparedness education, and provide assistance during emergencies.​
