The Wisdom of the Past is the Seed of the Future ™ Sacred Fire Foundation supports the continuance of Indigenous wisdom and strives to raise awareness about the values of Indigenous world-views as a way to effect social change and transform the world in which we live. The mission of the Foundation is two-fold: to ensure the continuance of ancestral wisdom; and to expand awareness about why the Indigenous worldview is crucial for all of us now, as well as for the future generations. We envision a global society that prioritizes balance, community and connection, and helps to sustain all life on earth. Our grant program provides direct funding and technical support to Indigenous communities worldwide to ensure that their ancestral wisdom can continue to flourish for generations to come. Our awareness initiatives provide opportunities for people to experience ancestral wisdom directly from Indigenous Elders, either through in-person gatherings or digital media, with practical advice for integrating this wisdom into your life. Our Wisdom Treasure Award honors the work of Elders who have demonstrated lifelong achievement in bringing wisdom, leadership and learning to their people and their community. Indigenous peoples hold the moral reserve of the world. —Onondaga Chief Oren Lyons Subscribe to our Newsletter You have successfully subscribed!
