Bear, Mama Bear's grandson is the young man whom we will be honoring. Mama Bear will open the ceremony with some prayers for Bear. Grandfathers & fathers from our spiritual family in attendance will be invited to share some of their wisdom & teachings to help prepare a boy for his transition into manhood. You're invited to join our spiritual family at the sacred fire circle to honor Bear for this monumental time in his young Earth Walk as he approaches the Red Road. A reminder that it is the Grandmothers who know the children the best. They are present at the birth, childhood, adulthood and they help guide and raise the young one's with an Eagle's eye and wisdom of the Elders. Grandmothers & mothers may be invited to share a nugget of wisdom with Mama Bear's OK.

The Native American warrior ceremony stands as a profound rite of passage, symbolizing the transition from adolescence to adulthood for young Native American men. Rooted in rich cultural traditions, this ceremony holds immense significance in the Native American community.

The Warrior Ceremony, also known as the Coming of Age Ceremony, marks a pivotal moment in a young warrior's life. It is a sacred tradition that has been passed down through generations, reinforcing cultural values and shaping the identity of Native communities.

The roots of the ceremony trace back to a time when young boys were initiated into adulthood through a rigorous training process, preparing them physically, mentally, and spiritually for the challenges that lay ahead. This tradition aimed to cultivate bravery, discipline, and a deep connection with nature.

Central to the warrior ceremony is the presence of experienced warriors who serve as mentors and guides. These elders, highly respected within the community, pass on their wisdom, teachings, and life experiences to the young warriors. Through storytelling, lessons, and rituals, they instill the values of honor, courage, and respect, ensuring the continuity of their tribe's traditions and cultural heritage.
