The Adawees - Guardians of Wisdom

“EDUTAINMENT”

Education and Entertainment can and do walk hand in hand. Avatar at its core is a story about conservation, Harry Potter teaches self-reliance and Celtic lore. And just as the classic mythological hero’s journeys from Joseph Campbell to Star Wars are deeply rooted in our anthropological drive to better ourselves – the simple message of the Adawees project is to Walk with Honor.

PROJECT HISTORY

For nearly 30 years, creator and founder of Honor Kids International, Linda Redford, has nurtured, tested, and taught the principles of The Adawees. A Psycho-Spiritual Family Counselor of Cherokee descent, Linda founded Honor Kids International with the mission to restore honor, respect, and value to children across the globe. http://honorkids.com/

CONCEPT:

These stories are rich in Native American mythology, where it is said that there is a beautiful and magical place known as Galunlati (Ga-LOON-la-ti). Some people say it is a planet at the edge of the universe, others say it appears only when you look inside your mind, some American Indians call it The Great Mystery.

One day the Adawees, guardians of wisdom, came to earth from Galunlati, and brought with them ancient universal secrets. These secrets are contained in The Honor Code and The Adawee Pledge. Those who practice these universal principles are given a right of passage and granted the wisdom of the ancestors. The Adawees stories follow 12 children who are challenged in various ways. They must use the Honor Code and Adawee Pledge to guide them along their path to self-realization. To learn to walk with honor is their journey, and to share this way of life with the world is their sacred purpose. In the end…they have entered the tribe of the Adawees.

PURPOSE:

Utilizing multiple forms of interactive entertainment, these stories strive to inspire children with powerful principles much greater than the “self” to navigate their lives. To be more aware of the beauty and strengths of differences in race, religion, gender, and culture. To use ancient wisdom and values as expressed by Native Americans for centuries. And the time is ripe for modern children to regain a deeper sense of place, purpose, and honor in this world.

MULTI-MEDIA OPPORTUNITY

Storybooks and curriculums have already been developed and tested in elementary schools with verifiable success. The platform has been primed for evolving the project into everything from feature films, to interactive multi-media educational materials from DVDs to virtual classrooms. As Galunlati itself lives in our imaginations, the interactive possibilities of modern media are perfect for the entertaining stories and expanding lessons of the Adawees. The next step for the project is to cull from this 30-year history the specific materials and sales force to pursue the financing necessary to develop the larger overall vision into a reality.
