The Sacred Hoop of 100 Feathers was created just after the birth of the white buffalo calf and has since traveled more than 40,000 miles bringing the messages of unity, healing, hope and forgiveness to Indian communities in the United Sates and Canada.

For the last 20 years, White Bison has offered sobriety, recovery, addictions prevention and wellness resources to the American Indian communities nationwide. Its goal is to bring 100 American Indian communities into healing by 2010.

Ancient Ways of Knowing Foundation is dedicated to bringing forth ancient traditional knowledge, philosophies and practices promoting health and wellness. In 1998, the foundation sponsored an eight-day gathering between eight Chinese masters of the healing arts and 14 American Indian elders and healers to facilitate the cross-cultural sharing of healing wisdom and ways.
