The First Peoples Mission Statement

We believe the message  “we are all related” is fundamentally true. Since we all are members of the same tribe of human beings we strive for peace, harmony and unity among all peoples of the world. To help achieve these goals we pledge to show kindness, love and generosity to all by any way possible. This means not just the Native Americans and adopted members of The First Peoples tribe that we belong to, but all peoples. Those of our community, our region, our country and our world, for we ARE all related, each and every one of us are truly our brothers’ keepers. We are not a tribe of a small specific geographical area of the world, we are universal, spread all over the entire world and we respect the customs of all Native American tribes just as we expect others to respect our customs and mores.
