Funktavism (fun activism) is the Smart Wars strategy designed to include all people in the reawakening of indigenous ancestry on planet earth. Through our shared indigenous reality we create a future for true life to thrive with sparkling pure water, abundant earth for all species, and a happily generous disposition among people.
