What is a Sietch?
    Sietch is a word from Frank Herbert’s Dune books. It means,
“A place of sanctuary in times of danger," and is pronounced        s-E-tch.  In the books The Sietch was the centerpiece of the community.  It was the central location for all goings on.  That is just what we are trying to create here. 

Why form an online version of a fictional place?
    After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that it was pointless to hide away from the world, and besides building your own cave is way out of my budget.  So instead we formed this community in the hopes of changing the world for the better.  Making a world that you wouldn't need sanctuary from. 
    Simple right?  The members of The Sietch are committed to educating and enlightening people all over the world to the growing need for ordinary people to start doing something about the problems that face the world today..  We do this by being an important source of information for people who are ready to make a change and need a little help.
    We are able to make real changes by promoting and educating policy makers and the public at large.  We believe that the only way to avoid the possibly drastic consequences of business as usual is to get out there and change the world. The members of The Sietch are out there every day changing the world for the better.
