Catalyzing action, speaking truth to power, telling the stories of our land.
Leaders
“Self-Governance comes from here” Musqueam Elder, Shane Point said pointing to his heart ”It’s about doing what is right, handed from our ancestors, our responsibility as parents, as community members to pass on, as an example the young mothers who showed up at a mining company's office to hold them responsible to the spill that happened in their traditional territory, they did not need to be elected, they listened to their hearts and are courageous enough to do what is right."
Groups of people with a collective vision for healing, justice and thriving future.
Partners
In these challenging times, we see the roots of change deepening as Indigenous peoples support one another in healing, nation-building, returning to traditional practices, restoring food systems and supporting cultural resurgence.
It is said that there are five pieces that are universal for healing: storytelling, music, prayer/meditation, dancing and connecting to nature.
