Mattaponi Indian Tribe

The purpose is to build Mattaponi Tribe capacity in grant writing, management, and strategic planning to develop forestry management plans based in traditional land stewardship processes and TEK, to enhance environmental health and climate adaptation for future tribe land endowment.

Roots of Resilience will support the restoration of Arrow Arum, Button Bush, Spiny Rush, 4 Sides, Swamp Milkweed and Pickerelweed, to prevent erosion and restore the ecosystem for cultural stewardship continuity for the Mattaponi people using significant riparian plants and animals.
