Project
Since the time of creation, our inherent responsibility to care for Mother Earth has created balance between plant, animal, and human relatives. Our cultural practices, traditions, and languages have been, and continue to be, essential to this caretaking. This vast reservoir of knowledge is handed down to each generation to ensure the protection of Mother Earth.
Native communities need access and opportunities to learn, carry, and transfer traditional knowledge. First Nations’ Community Pathways initiative was created to support intergenerational knowledge transfer so that our lifeways, lands, and future generations can thrive.
Community Pathways is grounded in upholding traditional knowledge and community connections, specifically between culture bearers and youth. Our culture bearers bridge the past to our present, and our youth are our bridge to the future. This initiative creates pathways for both groups to connect and engage in stewardship and knowledge-sharing opportunities.
Support for Community Pathways is made possible thanks to a generous contribution from an anonymous donor through First Nations’ Tribal Lands Conservation Fund.
