Indigenous youth to reconnect with culture, land, and self-expression. Through experiential
workshops, participants explore:
Food as Spirit – Discover the cultural, spiritual, and relational aspects of food, and
explore personal and communal food stories.
Carry Cedar Like an Aunty – Learn respectful harvesting practices, identify cedar as
medicine, and develop a personal relationship with the land through hands-on guidance.
Rhythm and Poetry (Rap) – Use voice, rhythm, and creative expression to explore identity
and storytelling.
Your Story Matters – Reflect on personal narratives, share stories safely, and integrate
the teachings into everyday life.
Each session combines teaching, hands-on activities, and reflection to foster confidence,
cultural knowledge, and a sense of belonging. The program is trauma-informed, grounded in
Indigenous knowledge is designed to empower youth to carry these teachings forward in
a good way.
