More About Us
Working with the international community on indigenous issues ,Ambassador RaDine learned people without traditional knowledge and culture will not be recognized with fundamental rights inheritance to their place of origin granted by The U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. To start to meet the needs of the international community, Ambassador RaDine started travelling all over the Americas gathering traditional wisdom and living skills, international scholars were sponsored and brought to teach indigenous cultural technology still in use today at our West Virginia Campus.

Into a 40 week traditional knowledge foundation intensive training program.. required by all restraints desiring to be listed with the America Heritage Registry as part of the Anisazi Peoples of America in North America aka Negro
What Is Traditional Heritage Or Indigenous Education?

Understanding of these basic to complex structural systems maintains the foundation for natural human development, Implementation of these values results in respect for family, community, and sustains the human character development needed to have emotional balance, mental well-being, and productivity from human beings towards the continuation of the development for their humanity as a people and their future generations with and for their section of Earth .
