REDEFINING CONSERVATION ON INDIGENOUS TERMS

An Indigenous Ecosystem for the Future

Mission Statement

Our mission is to converse lands and provide access to them to Indigenous people in closest proximity to conduct back to the land learning with activities that promote well being on the four main medicine wheel teachings of the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional levels. We wish to provide both space and time for Grandmothers in the community to convene and provide direction and cultural teachings to the participants.
