Brook Park hosts Tribes of Humanity gathering



Tribes of Humanity was a phenomenal success.. We glimpsed into the potential of our unity and beauty of our extended Community.. the reality is,
It is all about you, about us, the village, the Tribe, the Collective, the People indeed we have arrived. Our voices were heard, our drums were touched, we peered into one another’s Souls, we healed, we made music, we talked and connected, we grew, we evolved. We practiced ancient traditions & Native Ways ashe ashe as our Ancestors say ashe… ashe we came together that day in a sacred yet festive way…

The drums sounded reflecting the rhythms of the Earth
The smoke signals arose
Children’s laughter
Chopped wood
The Grandfather stones
Our bundles of Prayer
A sacred haven in the South Bronx called Brook Park
We stood in council
We honored the 4 winds and our Ancestors
African Aboriginal locks and Native Indigenous feathers mingled as one
There was honor and wisdom

A bond was made, an unspoken pact was drawn within ourselves, an innerstanding of our connection as children of the Earth that we are all Brothers and Sisters, Indeed this was the beginning of something special..

That day we entered Mother Earth’s womb and were reborn we’ve arrived the birth of a Tribe
Tribe of Humanity

This is when it gets interesting, that was the beginning stay tuned
