About Us

Huitzilin Wakan - Circle of Ancestral Ceremonies

 

Huitzilin Wakan is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the ancestral ceremonies of the Red Road. Our name unites two sacred languages: Huitzilin (hummingbird in Nahuatl) and Wakan (sacred in Lakota), reflecting the spirit of unity and respect that guides us.

 

Our Journey

For over 20 years, we have kept our ceremonies alive, walking through different lands without a place to call our own. Only our shared dream and sacred vision have sustained us on this path, keeping the ceremonial fire burning despite lacking a permanent structure.

Huitzilin Wakan was born with a clear purpose: to establish a sacred space of our own where our ceremonies can continue to flourish for present and future generations. While we currently gather at Dragon Fly in Caliente, California for our annual Vision Quest ceremony (Hemblecha), our dream remains to secure permanent land under the foundation where our ceremonial fire can burn for generations to come.
