Integrating ancestral knowledge within our programming and advocacy.
Our approach is one of collaboration, innovation, and respect for the deep-rooted science and wisdom that Indigenous communities hold.
Our Vision for Growth: Best Practices for Indigenous Resurgence
We believe in the power of grounded normativities that validate our inherent self- and community worth.
Thus, we are guided by the possibility and potential of growing Indigenous leaders who recognize the power of caretaking practices and who are supported in their healing from settler systems and ideologies. We plan to develop training models for health-land justice that support Indigenous resurgence and decolonial research pathways to authorship, and invites creative dreaming for collective possibilities, where all Indigenous people know themselves as liberated, worthy, and loved.
