The Return of the Ancestors Gathering

We are at a pivotal time in the history of humanity. During the ten days of ceremonies, prayers and celebration, nine stone tablets will be brought to the gathering and a new directive will be set in stone by elders and youth alike using glyphs, symbols and words.
