Original post 4/4/2019:
Ancient spiritual Truths have been held by lineages that are still present in the world today.
These Tribal and Aboriginal lineages are being assaulted by modern life and in peril of disappearing from the Earth.
KWF supports the developing communication between native Groups from all parts of the world.
We have helped to connect Australian Aboriginal Elders with the Elders of the Lakota Nation.

In July, 8 elders from the Southern South Australian tribes will embark on a historical 2-week journey to gather, learn, and share with the Lakota first nations-elders in the South Dakotas USA.This in not just a fluffy feel good trip to the USA – These elders have the future of their community and families at stake – life expectancy and health Statistics are alarming for Indigenous people in this lucky country. The simple act of pledging and sharing this information is going a long way towards enacting the Uluru Statement – “let’s walk together in a movement of the Australian people for a better future”.
This is an all or nothing campaign for us. We have set a target of 21K and we feel we will reach this in no time. It only takes a few minutes to watch this small film we have created and have a look at the page – You will then see how important and vital this gathering is. It will tell you all about the vision and what we aim to achieve. If you can pledge your support and also share this page – We feel the power of this gathering will touch the hearts of immeasurable people now and generations well into the future.
