Cree Elder A.J. Felix delivered a powerful "Wake Up" song and teachings at The Turtle Lodge on March 19, 2020, for the launch of "Wahbanung - The Resurgence of a People." His message called for spiritual awakening, urging listeners to address community challenges like children's suffering, disunity, and lack of sharing or prayer.

Elder Felix offered four vital teachings: pray sincerely, even with tears, as the spirit world listens; avoid buying luck or success, which can bring harm; and once grounded in prayer, remain humble, sharing blessings with those in need. This path leads to success and peace.

Join host Jeff Corwin to celebrate the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and its profound impact on wildlife. The bald eagle, once critically endangered, now thrives as a powerful symbol of conservation success, thanks to the ESA. This landmark 1973 bipartisan legislation protects vulnerable species and their ecosystems.

Corwin visits Florida's Boca Raton beaches, a vital nesting site for sea turtles. Conservationists Elizabeth Fleming and David Anderson demonstrate how habitat protection is crucial for species like loggerheads. Excavating a nest reveals successful hatchlings, underscoring that safeguarding their environment allows these keystone species to survive. Six of the world's seven sea turtle species nest in America, all protected by the ESA. Learn more at defenders.org/wildlifenation.

The National Turtle Lodge Elders’ and Knowledge Keepers’ Council calls for a National Day of Prayer on Sunday, June 6, 2021, at various times across Canada. This collective prayer responds to the tragic discovery of 215 children at a Kamloops residential school, honoring all affected by the residential school system.

Elders and Knowledge Keepers will lead ceremonies, lifting Sacred Pipes and lighting Sacred Fires, praying in Original Languages. Their aim is healing, fostering a new relationship based on love and kindness, and supporting today's children through ancestral ways.

All are invited to join this Sunday by participating in their own traditions. A special gathering at Turtle Lodge in July will seek further spiritual guidance for the country's path forward.
