The Lost Tribe is the host of ancestors and spirit allies that walk with and guide us –artistically and practically- in day-to-day life. The Lost Tribe is an acknowledgement, invocation, and celebration of ancestral presence and support. In numerous cosmologies from around the world, it is believed that these pantheons of deities are our ancestors, once living members of our communities. With this awareness, we – living ancestors of future generations- are also members of The Lost Tribe. May we remember the shoulders we stand on, the responsibility we have as individuals in a community, and the cycle we will fulfill in the future when it is our turn and privilege to give back to those who have inherited our legacy.
