Eleven First Peoples, one circular worldview, connected to all that is alive. Despite attempts by the government and the Church to ban our rituals and ceremonies, our spiritualities live on. The plants and animals that feed us are sacred. For millennia, powerful objects and dances have been used to connect to the Creator, animal spirits, and everything around us.

First Peoples are tackling universal issues including ecology, discrimination, governance, and food sovereignty. Every decision is taken with a view to its impact on the next seven generations. Before colonization, the 11 First Peoples had their own systems of governance in which women played a central role. Today, for future generations, they are tackling universal issues including ecology, discrimination, governance, and food sovereignty. This fight is critical. Our philosophy is simple: make every political decision with a view to its impact on the next seven generations. This principle guided our ancestors and is why we are still here today to perpetuate it. Now, it will help us confront a global environmental crisis.
