For over the last two decades, the Guardian Saga Foundation has been traveling around Canada, the United States of America, Mexico, and throughout Central and South America, delivering the power of our Indigenous ancestral starcadian heritage of Guardian Art.

Our outreach camps vary in length of exposure, from a weekend to a full week or several months at a time in communities.  

When we do our outreach camps, they are grand adventures not only for our staff but also for our participants. Most of the time, our camps are in very rural areas, so getting supplies to do the camps is always a complex task at hand that is solved through financial donations for travel costs and equipment purchases. We seek to outfit communities with a full set of training equipment to continue their Guardian Art training experience long after the camp. 

In our outreach camps, our participants will be experiencing life-changing skills to improve their body, mind, emotions, and spirit through learning realistic self-defense training, agility in body and mind through our traditional spirit-running obstacle courses, and returning to our indigenous cultural games like the “Creator’s/Guardian’s Game,” the original game that the sport of lacrosse descends from that was played before colonization throughout the Americas.

Rewilding the medicines needed to create inner strength, confidence, bravery, compassion, and indomitable spirit in the hearts and minds of the next generation | our sacred youth. 

Time and time again, we have seen through our camps youth becoming empowered and dramatically changing their lives in a healthy, positive direction through the immersion of Guardian Art training.

A unique thing about the Guardian Saga outreach camps is that we take youth who have participated in other camps with us to new communities to serve as ambassadors and leaders to help mentor new youth, showing them that through dedication and commitment, anything is possible.

Once we do a camp, our goal is to establish/set a community leader who will get trained and continue the medicine of Guardian Art in that community, creating a sacred relationship with that community.

The Guardian Saga Foundation is a medicine that our First Nation and rural communities have consistently asked for, and we seek to continue to be the Guardians they need.

In Guardian Art, we have a sacred prophecy about the return of the three sacred houses of the Guardian we call “Praxeums.” A Praxeum is a monastery of Guardian Art. It is a place where Guardian Art students can fully immerse themselves in and live the Guardian Art in its entirety. It is a sacred place where Guardians get trained to help spread the medicine of Guardian Art throughout our star.

We are seeking to raise funding to purchase property in the locations the prophecy speaks of the longhouse territory of the Northwest, the Kiva territory in the Southwest, and the roundhouse territory in the Northeast of North America.

Currently, we have located several sites to establish Praxeums. We need your help to activate them through your funding.

Establishing Praxeum sites will give us the ability to host camps all year long in all four seasons to give us a larger bandwidth to create magical experiences for our youth consistently.

Having our own sites where we can create our schedule and timeline will give us the power to constantly create the opportunity for students to engage more deeply in Guardian Art and spread its medicine. A Praxeum gives us the ability and freedom to increase our knowledge and deepen our relationship with the Earth and the Creator. Praxeums of Guardian Art is a sacred place where we can practice in peace and privacy our ceremonies in the land of our Ancestors.

Praxeums, one can say, are the equivalent of the sacred library of Alexandria to a Guardian. We have had several temporary Praxeums in the last two decades, and they did wonders for our instructors and students to where these sites helped create the foundation for the Guardian Saga today. Getting to see firsthand that when we have a space that cannot be interrupted, we can dial into our medicines, ceremonies and Guardianship teachings in a way that creates so much power that rings and ripples across continents.

We know the power that a dedicated space of Guardian Art creates. Please help us establish these holy universities of Guardian Art to help spread the medicine of Guardian Art all year round. 

Our Indigenous ancestors once spoke more than 300 different languages across this vast continent. More than half of those languages are gone forever. Of those that have survived, all are endangered—in fact, many of our native languages have only a few dozen fluent speakers still alive. These diverse languages are gifts from our ancestors, infused with the power of the ancestral domain and the experiences, insights, and traditions of our forebears. Guardian Saga is fighting to preserve these gifts through our Guardian Art Language Immersion Program.

By working closely with each community’s tribal elders and native speakers, we build programs that combine the physical, cultural, and mental elements of Guardian Art training with immersion in the ancestral language of that territory. We begin by teaching the basic commands and power positions in that language and then integrate more words and phrases as we build on those fundamental skills. By combining repetition, action, and memory, we use the whole body and mind to engage with the language.

By living and practicing our indigenous languages, youth harness the power of their heritage, and it becomes a part of them. Using the whole body, engaging the mind, and incorporating cultural viewpoints allow youth to connect with language in ways that go far beyond the classroom. Kids don’t learn lists of vocabulary words, they learn the meaning and power of those words in physical action. This makes learning their ancestral language more relevant, more engaging, and simply more fun.

At Guardian Saga, our dream goes beyond trying to preserve our ancient languages, traditions, and teachings for posterity. We are working to create a new generation of guardians: young people who can use these gifts of our heritage to become thoughtful leaders who think and act for all human beings and for the nurturement of our earth. We are equipping these youth to become guardians of our future.
