Descendants of the Earth
Josh was strongly drawn to Native American traditions and especially to their views on community and man's stewardship of the earth. In his searchings he came to The Descendants of the Earth and their wonderful founders Wolf and Lisa Wahpepah. Their mission statement: "reestablishing a self-sustaining spiritual community in the natural world through the traditions and values of the Native American way of life." This group became his spiritual home. Josh instituted an annual benefit concert to help them raise funds for a permanent site. These concerts became memorial concerts after Josh's death. Josh's eloquent letter in support of the group can be heard (read by Lewis D. Wheeler who plays the role of Josh in Lightsong) or viewed as text
