About Black Wolf Society

The Organization | Our Vision | Our Team

 Black Wolf Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in the Greater New Orleans area. Our mission is to support community wellness and development through cultural and educational endeavors.

In 2014, the urbanized indigenous people of Black Wolf Society declared and established this organization to preserve and secure the principles of our society, establish our core values, and to cooperatively manage and run our society for all human beings as a nonprofit organization in Louisiana.

Our Values: 

Discover the core values that guide our work, including peace, love, and understanding.

Purpose:

The primary purpose of Black Wolf Society is to spread peace, love, understanding and respect for our human family and the planet that is our Mother.  

We seek to create a model of transition from neighborhood to village that is self-sustainable, cooperative and filled with self-actualized human beings living to the heights of their fullest potential.

Mission:

To be a dynamic spiritual organism empowered by Mother Earth to communicate love, understanding, and respect for ourselves, our human family and home on this planet.  Although we are many cultures and people, we are all one race, the HUMAN RACE.

We seek to share with as many people as possible in our society, community and throughout the world that we are brothers and sisters, and the earth is our home which we must respect and nurture together as a family of human beings.

Principles

No human being has the right to tell another human being by what name to call our Creator (God).  

We hold that anchoring ourselves to our core humanity, we can sit together as a diverse body of human beings, and share reverence and joy for the life path we all walk; and by our spirit of human fellowship and respect, we can heal one another’s spirit in this broken society.
