Cultivate positive relationships between Indigenous People and landowners in order to have shared outcomes in ecological stewardship, habitat conservation, and climate adaptation.
Enrich communities by providing hands-on tools and support for teaching gathering traditions and honoring native plants in culturally appropriate ways.
Perpetuate ecological heritage of Indigenous People through intergenerational knowledge transmission and supporting traditional landscape practices.
Educate and inform land managers and academic institutions that native plants important to Indigenous Peoples need culturally appropriate research support to identify climate vulnerability and adaptation potential. Secure inclusion of culturally appropriate native plant species into habitat restoration and reforestation projects.
Provide resources, research, support, and training for culturally grounded climate adaptation while upholding Indigenous sovereignty. Foster partnerships to create shared visions of thriving homelands, habitats, and resilient communities for the next Seven Generations
Seek partnership with entities currently offering salmon, habitat, or wildlife safe certifications to incorporate traditional plants into their certification processes for agriculture, business and homeowners. The intent would be to ensure native plants important to Indigenous Peoples are part of the certification process, and to facilitate and support gathering access to those sites.
Identify status of food security, system, and sovereignty policies of PNW Tribes and determine extent to which traditional food plants and medicines are included in them. Offer assistance to help draft, revise, or create current policies to help conservation efforts and identify mechanisms to support gathering access.
Establish resource hub to help protect pollinators in regions of importance to Indigenous Peoples, particularly by increasing awareness of forest and agricultural practices. Hub will also collect and distribute information on how individuals can help protect pollinators species and educate people how to become direct stewards through pollinator identification and beekeeping basics.
We are a Native led, 501 (c)(3) non-profit, whose intent is to support native plant conservation and restoration of native plant gathering traditions for Pacific Northwest tribes.
