Kupidabin Cultural Association Inc. is a registered non profit organization and leases a 10 acres block of land, which
is protected under the State Government (E.P.A.) Environmental
Protection Act as a Rare Eco Region. It is our vision to keep this
land in its natural state and to honour the land as a Place for
Multicultural Inter Tribal Gatherings. The land has been blessed by an
Aboriginal Elder representing the Dungidau Tribe, who were the original
inhabitants. We honour ourselves on this land and invite members of all
Cultures to join us with ideas to build and develop the land for
cultural activities in keeping with the environment.
At the first Reinbo All Nations Gathering in 2007, our Medicine Wheel was created in Tiwa/Hopi Tradition by Native
American Medicine Woman Verlinda Montoya, Mato Ta Pejuta Wakan Nawjin
(translation Bear Medicine Standing Sacred) on 10th.
November 2007. The Medicine Wheel has the power and the ability during
ceremony to connect us to Powerful Spirits, Spiritual harmony and our
own healing.
A ceremony was held on the 8th November
2008 to burn the Prayer Sticks, which were created by 2007 Reinbo All Nations Gathering participants. The Prayer Sticks were
powered and blessed in the traditional Lakota Inipi Sweat Lodge and
used in the Medicine Wheel Healing Ceremony.
Medicine Lodge Gatherings, Full Moon Drumming Circles, New Moon Women’s
Circles and empowering Spiritual Ceremonies are held through the year.
