Wisdom from our Founding Leaders...
from Kautantowit's Mecautea...
Dear Kautantowit's Mecautea (KM) members,
Like all families, we as the whole of Kautantowit's Mecautea are beyond honored to have and call you FAMILY!
As in all good medicine works, their are “rules of the road,” which are for us, common understandings about relationships and "Moral Compass" standards of expectation regarding moral and ethical conduct that reflect the values instructed us by our elders and ancestors by Great Creator.
Too many rules, and a family groans and chafes under their heaviness. Too few rules, and a family exists in name only while it disintegrates into disconnected pieces, each resolved to go its independent way. Healthy families find ways to identify what is most important and adhere to it without majoring on minor matters. Hopefully, the Kautantowit's Mecautea family of churches and their spiritual leaders qualify as healthy in terms of rules of the good medicine Red road.
We have long believed in “A balance of affiliation and freedom, providing accountability without undue control,” and endeavor to live that way. It is an ongoing process. Kautantowit's Mecautea Manual contains our rules of the road. Here you will learn about our family roots, find what we believe, see how we define ourselves, and note how our conduct is guided through bylaws, policies, and procedures.
This manual provides descriptions of ministries, covenants that declare how we preserve leadership integrity in relationships, and statements that delineate how the Kautantowit's Mecautea family views and positions itself regarding issues of the day. It identifies family privileges and responsibilities; a healthy family enjoys both. And, the Kautantowit's Mecautea Manual provides minimum guidelines for church bylaws that safeguard spiritual, legal, and relational boundaries for the purpose, structure, and leadership authority of every local church body.
Accompanying those minimum bylaw guidelines are bylaw models that represent a range of governance philosophies within the safeguards. Kautantowit's Mecautea’s mission is to globally make disciples, develop leaders, and plant churches. The Kautantowit's Mecautea Manual outlines the framework through which we pursue fulfillment of our calling.
Whatever your role in the Kautantowit's Mecautea family, Great Creator gave us one common call and mandate: To live With ALL the web of and encompassing Mother Earth. May Kautantowit help our family to be found faithful to the proclamation and honorable in our journey upon the good medicine Red road, leaving deep prints for our descending generations.
May we all walk in sacred way along our journey, with the light of integrity illuminating our path so that we tread lightly and sure-footed as we follow our elder and ancestor relations path back home and to the feet of Great Creator so to advance into our eternity honoring All our relations. A'ho~

Dear Kautantowit's Mecautea (KM) members,
On behalf of the whole of Kautantowit's Mecautea, I am honored to have you as part of the spiritual tribal family as prophesized and instructed to accomplish by our elders' turned ancestors as we are essential during these sacred times regarding Creator's creation, especially the sacred earthly hoop and its intricate weavings.
Our President...

Dear KM members,
You are of my tribe... I welcome you. I am proud to be among the founders of KM and to stand in representation of all of you as fellow warriors who rise for that which is right and just, and to help lead us through whatever trials and tribulations we must endure and persevere for the descending generations and out of respect for our previous generations who endured before and for us.
As Wolfband Chief of KM, I emphasize that the Way of the Warrior reminds us that we have a responsibility to live by a code of ethics that serves to help us reach a higher standard of living which is affirmed by the KM Moral Compass and encourage All of you to refresh yourselves of it frequently so long as you strive for your true north direction. We each have this very same moral compass built in code in our DNA that speaks to us of right and wrong whether or not we always listen or take heed to it. Our duty to ourselves as well as to the world is to reach inside and interpret this code when we are faced with hard decisions about what to do in difficult situations and strive towards true north, even if we don't necessarily want to or decide it would be easier or more beneficial not to.
Today we have a tough time finding this code in the face of so many contradictions in society. However the Way of the Warrior is as valid today as it was 10,000 years ago when we evolved into reasoning beings. In truth these codes are the same as those taught by the BUSHIDO masters in the Far East and are as valid here in the West as they are anywhere! These are the codes lived by every Human Being who has been raised in the traditions of our Elders since time began on this planet, regardless of origin, nationality, creed etc. It is indeed strange how these laws of Nature can be felt even in the remotest depths of every land where Honor lives.
May you always walk in the Highest Path that has been set by the masters that came before you and may we all rejoin all warriors before and still to come in eternal honor from Great Creator!

Dear fellow (KM) members,
As one of the originating founders, let me welcome to our family circle! Please know that whatever your personal beliefs, you are family and are welcomed here anytime among us, and we are honored to do all we can to help support and assist in your reconnection to the Great Divine as I hope you will also do for me and the rest as and when we need it.
As brothers and sisters, please know that I am here for you as imperfect as we both and all may be, and that I continue doing the best I can daily for the greater good of us all and that I'm honored to walk the good medicine among you as family. May Creator love and see us through with dignity and integrity. Blessings, strength and good health to all.
