Walking Ancient Paths to Peace:

learning from lived experience to strengthen democracy

Over 800 years ago the Haudenosaunee people moved past intertribal warfare to establish the world’s oldest living participatory democracy in what is now New York state. Fortunately for us, in spite of the odds, indigenous wisdom keepers have preserved the daily practices that underpinned their ability to live in peace within their confederacy and with others. Having been gifted these wisdoms, we are sharing them with all ‘listening ears’. What may we learn from their lived experience?

Get in touch?

Our North Star is the Great Law of Peace adopted by the Haudenosaunee people over 800 years ago.

Even when people understand that the status quo is unsustainable, many are not clear on how to get involved and create needed shifts.

We have helped 1000s of individuals, organizations and communities get energized and activated by gaining clarity on their unique roles.

We look forward to learning about yours!

A Gift from the Indigenous:
the Rights of all Beings

as shared by Miss Tu Moonwalker, Apache medicine woman

The Rights of All Beings make up a holistic, interconnected system that describes the inborn, inalienable rights of all. These rights represent the lessons we humans must learn and practice in order to live in harmony with the rest of Existence. They are the key to sustained survival. They are a source of profound joy, as well. A similar wisdom emerged about the unique responsibilities we have as humans. These responsibilities include giving other beings the right to be. When people do not, they are held accountable. These responsibilities encourage health within ourselves, other beings, and for the planet.
