MISSION STATEMENT:
Red Earth Descendants is a grassroots, indigenous-based organization
committed to creating healthy, sustainable community while preserving
Native values, traditions and culture. Our core strength is in joining
our youth, elders, families and regional tribes together to share
knowledge and skills. As we practice healthy community interaction,
our goal is to give Native teachings to the next Generations of life.
VISION STATEMENT:
R.E.D. has the vision to steward a shared piece of land where our
community can strive for sustainability in some of the following ways:
cultural gatherings, growing food, creating a seed bank, building earth
lodges and an eco-village, holding Ceremony, taking care of our elders,
children and each other in a safe and nurturing environment.
OBJECTIVE:
The R.E.D. community follows instructions given to us by our elders,
including the knowledge of indigenous prophesies. We have been told it
is important to work together to create a sustainable land base. We
strive to provide a place and a way to form true human beings. In
order to do so, we must take care of ourselves and each
other--mentally, physically, spiritually and through
community-building. We support these elements of our health through
the four events R.E.D. sponsors each year: Winter Storytelling, Spring
Native Stick Games, Summer Elder/Youth Conference/World Peace and
Prayer Day, Fall First Nations Day/Native EcoSymposium. Each of these
events honors our elders for the wisdom they hold and gift to us. It
is our responsibility to carry these traditions forth to the next Seven
Generations.
