A Message from the Warrior Society
Honored Chiefs, Esteemed Clan Mothers, and Beloved People of Turtle Island, It is with a humble heart and deep respect that we stand before you today. We gather not just as individuals, but as a collective guided by the spirit of our ancestors and the responsibility we carry for the generations yet to come.
As Warriors of Turtle Island, our role is to serve and protect. We stand ready, with strength and discipline, at the service of our Hereditary Chiefs and Clan Mothers. Your wisdom guides us. Your authority directs our work in defending our people, our lands, and our cultural responsibilities.
The men’s camp is one expression of that commitment. Within it, we focus not only on physical training, but also on our roles as protectors, providers, and leaders. We are working to establish a Men's Council that will complement the Women’s Council, creating space for shared leadership and community dialogue. These councils will help guide our future, ensuring all voices are respected.
We are also committed to building relationships with others who share our values. Through unity, we become stronger. By forming strong alliances, we are better positioned to face the challenges ahead.
Our protection includes land, culture, language, ceremony, and the health and safety of our people. We remain vigilant and committed to preserving all that sustains us.
Let us move forward with integrity and purpose. Let us protect what must be protected and prepare the way for those who follow.
Thank you.
