Donations
Donate to Spirit of the Wind
Spirit of the Wind is a 501 (c)(3) Native American nonprofit organization from Siskiyou County, Northern California.
​
We facilitate Native American Ceremonies like Sweat Lodges, Vision Quests and Family Dances, guided by our Ceremonial Leader Walking Eagle and his Wife Gentle Springs.​
It's with the help, financial aid and donations from our friends and families, that we are able to bring our community together through our Educational Activities at Spirit of the Wind.
Our Land
With the help we received, Walking Eagle and Gentle Springs were able to purchase a beautiful piece of land with a creek, for Spirit of the Wind, a few years ago,
This land is located in Weed, Siskiyou County, Northern California, surrounded by the majestic Mount Shasta Wilderness.
​
Our next goal is to develop the land and build our infrastructure so we can start having our Community Activities over there.
​
​We deeply believe we have a real possibility to build something positive in our present time, not only for us and our children, but for the generations to come!​​​​​​​​
Building our Infrastructure on the Land
We are in the initial stages of building our infrastructure on the land,
and in order to moving forward with our goals, we require financial support.
