Blue Sky Cultural Services

Mission Statement: To empower Indigenous Youth & Families through the provision of a Holistic Land-based Healing Programming. Our cultural program will be strongly influenced and guided by Traditional Anishinabe values, 7 grandfather teachings beliefs, and practices. Emotional, Physical, Mental & Spirituality to reconnecting to the Land will be key components in nurturing and building self-confidence and developing skills among youth and families to help them reach their full potential as community members. We are a family-run business and our Indigenous roots have laid a platform to educate others about our healing story and being raised with Indigenous traditional teachings! Our upbringing has brought a great understanding of our ancestral history. This has helped amplify the significance to preserve the past through traditional teachings, historical stories, and cultural ceremonies; and only by preserving these aspects, can we help build a stronger Nation to help identify a better understanding of the relationship and responsibilities to ourselves to the land and the water. We continue to work toward our dream to have an Indigenous land base healing business. We believe in our ancestral seven grandfather teachings: wisdom, love, respect, bravery, honesty, humility, and truth.
