The world is moving very rapidly into
the changing that many of us have
seen in our visions, and we see that
many prophecies have come to
fulfillment.  Dear friends, we strongly
urge you to be as self-reliant as
possible...  

Our vision is of people coming
together to learn to share and work
with each other and from these
permanent alliances people can come
together with like hearts and minds.
Sun Bear, of Ojibwa descent, was the
founder and Medicine Chief of The Bear
Tribe Medicine Society.  As little more
than a child, he began having visions
that led him to become a medicine
teacher.  He studied with uncles who
were medicine teachers, and other
non-Native teachers.  He believed that
indigenous people the world over had
much to offer to each other and to all
who came with a good heart.

Sometimes political, and always
controversial, Sun Bear led The Bear
Tribe Medicine Society until his death in
1992.  Wabun Wind worked as Medicine
Chief until 1996, when other
responsibilities called her away.  The
responsibility of Medicine Chief passed
to Wind Daughter at that time...and this
year marks the ten year anniversary of
her tenure.
