What we do
Language is the foundation for how we think and how we relate to the rest of the world. Our words are our most direct connection to the land beneath our feet and to the world around us.
We believe that reclaiming, celebrating and using Indigenous languages brings knowledge, pleasure, laughter, and understanding to everyone. Our goal is to make these languages accessible to anyone who wants to learn.
We believe there is value in doing this very publicly. Especially while being outside exploring and moving.
