Sacred Sites are saved by dedicated people.
Site Savers are individuals, couples and families who have worked to preserve their sacred places and practices.
The mission of Sacred Sites International includes respecting the traditional people who honor and preserve their sacred sites. Since 1990, when we started Sacred Sites International, we have been privileged to meet many traditional elders who have kept their sacred sites alive, fought to protect and preserve them and in some cases, resurrected and restored them. These elders are also the guardians of sacred cultural knowledge, traditions, ceremonies, and stories.
Traditional elders can share important knowledge and values with contemporary industrialized cultures. They can also be models for how to treat older people in wholesome, healthy ways.
