Preparing Folks for Hard Times, Teaching Resiliency & Emergency Preparedness

Disaster Relief Needed!
"Historic Destruction"

You are not seeing all of the devastation in the news! In the Appalachian Mountains, it's worse that what is being reported. It's heartbreaking how many are missing - 600 just in ONE county alone! And there are 8 counties in Tennessee that are catastrophically impacted. "'The storm has caused historic destruction. We anticipated hundreds of millions of dollars in damages and months of closures,' a statement from the Tennessee Department of Transportation said."

​

Biden has declared major destruction zones in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina & South Carolina but has only provided limited recovery efforts in Tennessee. In our county, Greene Co., the water treatment plant is irreparably destroyed! 10,000 households are without water and it is estimated at the time of this writing that it could be weeks before these people have water.​​

FireKeepers International owns land in greene county! the land needs a water well!
Help us give water to our neighbors in need!

We could provide free water fill-up to needy residents of Greene County. Not only does this take care of a DIRE need but it positions us to be able to help more in the future as well as grow crops for our community!

​

For years, we have seen this coming and have been asking for help digging a well. It is needed now more than ever.

We are also coordinating boots on the ground disaster relief assistance. If you would like to volunteer, please contact us.

What We Do
Educate. Preserve. Train.

For countless years, Indigenous people have lived off the land; used what was available as resources; and fed those in the community in a cooperative way. Wisdom was passed down from generation to generation. Uncle to nephew. Mother to daughter. Warrior to boy. Medicine woman to mentee. But now those skills are in jeopardy of being forever lost. The knowledge must be passed on to those who have the heart to hear and learn.

​

Heritage life skills were endemic in every nation and culture of the earth at various times in their history. When those skills are forgotten or fail to be passed down to the subsequent generation, the cumulative knowledge of thousands of years and countless generations are in danger of extinction.

​

FireKeepers International is determined to preserve those traditional life skills and even add some to the collective knowledge bank for future generations. We connect Wisdom to Wisdom-Seekers. Knowledge to those who crave it. Encouragement to those who are struggling. Helping veterans with inner healing.
