The Story of A Chief
At a young age, Harry Goodwolf Kindness was taken under the wings of some of the greatest leaders of our time and saw, first-hand, some of the most epic moments of civil and environmental justice and grassroots activism in modern history.
​
Far from slowing down after nearly a dozen life-changing Long Walks and Runs, around the world and often all the way from Alcatraz to Washington D.C., his words and actions are resonating profoundly given the great tasks of our time - and the need for the wisdom of a chief, an elder, a Sun Dancer, a Red Road Warrior.
Red Road
Warrior Society
​
The Red Road Warrior Society provides a way forward, experiences and resources, for the spiritual warriors of our time. In the Native Way, traditionally, a society was formed and existed to serve and carry out a specific need of the people.
We are a community of earthkeepers and peacemakers made strong by the Creator, the wisdom of our elders, chiefs and the roots of our movement as well as the energy and power of the new school students, activists, nonprofits and water protectors of Standing Rock and beyond.
Gifted by the Creator at a time of change, Red Road Warrior Society honors a legacy of great leadership and immense time, effort, and many lives, toward a centuries-long battle for social and environmental justice.
​
Purpose
The society’s task is to create and foster experiences, grounded in Creator Law, thereby unlocking our collective potential to make choices which address the biggest challenges of our time, manifesting a world that represents Who We Are.
