Cultural Education & Environmental Justice Program
Our Work
-
We center Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Environmental and Social Justice principles in all aspects of our curriculum. This program is a living collaboration between Indigenous Relations Consultants (IRC), partner organizations, and educational and governmental institutions.
Our mission is to decolonize conventional ways of learning and knowing by applying Traditional Ecological Knowledge through both individual and collective experiences, while ensuring Indigenous and BIPOC+ voices are present in spaces where decisions about land, health, and equity are being made.
-
We use Indigenous worldviews and ancestral wisdom to create learning experiences that connect people to the natural world beyond conventional Western ecological frameworks.
Through education, dialogue, and land-based experiences, participants develop a deeper understanding of:
Relationships between people, land, and ecosystems
Cultural responsibility and stewardship
Collective well-being and community resilience
Learning is designed to be experiential and somatic, not only intellectual, strengthening long-term connection to place and responsibility to all communities of life.
-
Our work integrates TEK into community, institutional, and organizational settings through:
Educational teachings and curriculum development
Community workshops and facilitated learning experiences
Land acknowledgements grounded in relationship and accountability
Equity and inclusion consulting informed by Indigenous knowledge systems
Land-based program tours that connect social, cultural, and ecological restoration
These services support social, cultural, and land rematriation while fostering meaningful engagement with the lands where programs take place.
-
We actively support representatives of BIPOC+ and underserved communities by helping create access to spaces where their perspectives have historically been excluded.
Our work promotes health equity and participatory reparative action by:
Centering community voices in planning and implementation
Supporting community-led advocacy
Building pathways for long-term institutional change
Equity is not treated as an add-on, but as a foundational responsibility across all partnerships and programs.
Our Collaborators and Institutional Partners
We work with current and former partners to bring Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) into education, land stewardship, and community programs.
