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.
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.
