Turtle Island, our Mother Earth, where the Tree of life represents all that is life, encompassing all that exists upon the Earth. We recognize that our journey begins and ends under the protection of this Tree representing the cycle of Life. Whereas, one leaf or fruit falls, so begins new growth. Turtle Island, containing the ashes – full wisdom of our Ancestors. Rhythms of the world continue year after year, and with each cycle, fruit nourishes those who stand under her boughs. The roots dig deep into history. Those dedicated to this energy know the value of all beings. Tend to Mother Earth and live an honorable life in honor of the spirit of the Ancient Tree. We travel in our connections and journey in full respect with the Bear and Eagle spirit representing family and strong teachings as we seek growth, offer thanksgiving and gratitude for the Gift of Life.
