First Nations Peoples center is the Non Profit Division, in our company portfolio. It was established in November 2004 as a Non–Profit Corporation. It originally was doing business as Spiritual Freedom and Sensual Awakenings located in Memphis TN. a conscious living store that opened in April 2005.

First Nations mission is in helping North America’s Indigenous and low-income Peoples with food, shelter, heating and clothing. Developing Americas’ blighted inner cities and towns, by teaching and giving its citizens jobs helping America’s low income people get out of poverty, Christ said “ Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life”. First Nations will also help America feed themselves by teaching them to plant farms, raising  crops that are Genetically Modified Free and Organic, utilizing and teaching centuries old farming techniques helping America’s citizens learn to support them selves.

Because of the wounded people living in the America's and the world, another area where we will be focusing on is working with people and groups that deal with  domestic violence, child  alcohol, and drug abuse, spiritually and mentally wounded people, with counseling, health clinics, sweat lodges and a shoulder to lean on.

Sacred Children of the Earth is another division under our non profit subsidiary it was developed as a Charter School where they are available or a society for today’s youth, from the ages of infancy to 18 years of age its mission is for the children to learn respect for themselves, other people, plant, animal and mineral relative’s that reside on this earth and teach them stewardship of the land, it can also be set up to be a charter school.

First Nations Peoples Center is the brain child of three men. Henry “Tony” Antoine (a tribal member of the Okanogan Nation located in Canada), Jack Armstrong and Ben.

Each one of us had a different idea, Tony, wanted to have it set up where people especially Indigenous Peoples going to ceremonies, (i.e. Sundance), if they need money or transportation First Nations would support them. He also wanted to use it to take care of the Elders on the Reservations, and bring them off the reservations to bring to modern society, their life story and that of their Nation. The visiting Elders would be compensated for their experience.


Jack wanted to include the Elderly, and the low income people of America, and help bring back to life decaying parts of cities, to rehabilitate, and to make them more livable. And Ben wanted to buy land and teach people to plant organic food, and animal husbandry to help the society to support themselves.

We eventually lost track of Ben and haven't heard from him in years, without Ben's  vision for First Nations the third part of the plan would not be complete.

In Memoriam


                                    Henry "Tony" Antoine 1940-2006

Ben introduced me to Tony in 2004, we sat in CK's coffee Shop on Poplar ave in Memphis TN. While Ben and I conversed Tony just sat drinking his coffee and listened to our conversation, and look at me now and then. After about 3 hours we were getting ready to leave and Tony invited me to attend a sweat lodge with him, to see if what we talked about was truth. We set up a day and time to meet. By the time I had got out there Tony had finished the ceremony and had left. Leaving me with a hot sweaty lodge by myself. I got back in my vehicle and went back home.

A couple of months had passed and one day while we were preparing a sweat lodge ceremony, Tony shows up with Ben, we talked a while and then we all sweat except Tony.

Tony was of the Okagnogan Nation out of Western Canada, his Nations philosophies were different from the ones that I participated in, but he honored and respected all philosophies. He was a fire man and a member of the Native American Church, when ever he met someone, he would ask them to sit down and he would learn about them, Tony made friends of almost everyone. If participants of the sweat lodge was doing things wrong or not respecting the ceremony he would let you know.

His vision of the world was for the dominate society of the world to honor and respect the ways and philosophies of the Native Peoples,a nd to respect the Earth and the Elders. His part of the vision of First Nations was to feed, cloth and provide heat for the people on all reservations, and in return they would share their life's lessons with us.

Tony was married a couple of times,  had children, and adopted children, spent time as a logger and even some time in jail and addicted to alcohol, but he had a good heart and while he might not agree with something you said he would honor your opinion.

Om an April day in 2006 Tony had four heart attacks ,two at his house, one on the way to the hospital, and the final one in the Emergency room. The number four has a lot of meaning to Native Americans, and so it seemed that Tony left the way Creator wanted it.

Even today when I go to a sweat lodge and it is messy or unkempt I can hear Tony saying "whats wrong with you clean up this site and fire pit. You pray here respect it."
