The Turtle Island 42 Initiative (TI42) is an answer to the anti-pagan, anti-indigenous, anti-human, anti-nature DC40 initiative that seeks to create a Christian-dominant government in the United States of America. Running for 40 days and starting on October 3, 2011, DC40 is being spearheaded by the [Apostolic Movement and Christian Dominionists] as a renewed Manifest Destiny in blatant stated disrespect of Paganism in particular and indigenous culture and spirituality in general.  

TI42 seeks to organize focused learning, support and daily spiritual work in validation of and gratitude for indigenous spirituality and Ancestral traditions that have sustained human life in harmony with nature and Spirit for the majority of human history.  Organizers will be posting daily prayers, invocations and information in the hopes of strengthening understanding and active spiritual support within the indigenous and Ancestral traditions that so many people in this country and across the globe carry with pride and confidence.

Turtle Island is one of the names the indigenous people of the Americas have called their land.  TI42 will continue for 42 days, starting one day before and ending one day after DC40 as a symbolic and grounded energetic message that indigeny and its traditions will not be silenced by this or any other anti-human effort.  We are all the children of indigenous Ancestors and the supporters of the TI42 Initiative have decided to carry forward our traditions at this time with particular focus to counteract this despicable and divisive movement.
