About Turtletribe, Inc.

Turtletribe, Inc. is a non-profit organization that promotes:

1. Appreciation of the Creator and His Creation for the gifts of Life and free-will, exemplified with Red Road acts of kindness, goodness and charity and the choice to "be your brother's keeper."

2. A universal brotherhood that asserts the Native American view of Mitakuye Oyasin -- that all peoples of the world are related and should not war with one-another.  In honoring others, we honor ourselves.

3. Seekers of Truth. As elders entering the last phase of the life cycle, we must become as children and be open and honest with others and ourselves.

4. Self awareness and discovery.  Our rituals, the way we lead our lives and our nature defines man as a Quest Hero, "a wanderer, a voyager, a seeker after adventure, knowledge, power, meaning and righteousness." -- Loren Eisely, The Unexpected Universe.
