I started using tribe a few years years ago, about the time I met Howler. I see the connections between us all the way through his tribe profile and mine. After i met him at the intention retreat and was greatly impressed by his work to draw people together and share out of each one's truth, I looked through his tribe profile and recognized a friend's back yard in a picture on the album and went and stalked him.

this is my hereditary sign. the hand holding a star and moon is like the cosmological alignment that i do, and the motto means that virtue alone is the source of nobility, which represented a very modern ideology when it first appeared in the renaissance. i take it to mean that right livelihood and stoking sustainability brings personal empowerment. the belt means that i am a commoner. my ancestors were peasants and protestant clergy.
