Matriarchal Organization 

As we seek to learn from our ancestors' teachings and the ways of governance that worked for centuries prior to colonization, we invite our Indigenous roles into colonial spaces. Shifting the paradigm from Western archetypes to Indigenous Archetypes is part of our intergenerational healing approach. Through this process, we bring roles such as Advising Elder, Fire Keeper, Earth Mother, Trickster, Healer forward. Our ways may be from many differing nations yet our resilience was always rooted in the health and wellbeing of our communities while we thrived through social & value-based economies.
