GRATITUDE AND ACTION

We would like to acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional, ancestral and unceded tmxʷulaʔxʷ (homeland) of the Sinixt Peoples. We feel privileged and grateful to be here and honour the ongoing presence of Sinixt on this land. We are mindful of how we carry ourselves, so as to demonstrate our intentions to honour this land, water, and all beings.

We are thankful for our ancestors, our teachers, the families and staff that create our programs. We aim to honour this place by minimize our footprint and contribute as stewards to land regeneration.

COYOTE MENTORING

The Forest Path follows an approach called COYOTE MENTORING: not only nature education or outdoor recreation, but mostly deep connection modeling. This is inspired by First Nations’ parenting and how kids were raised during 90% of human history. Read more research on that on the EVOLVED NEST.
