The Fountain INITIATIVES

INITIATIVE Circle

This circle supports the Fountain sponsored initiatives. The initiatives, each in their own ways, are medicine for the healing of Original People, Cultures, and Territories. This, in turn, supports and propels the healing of Mother Earth and all her relations.
