The 2024 – 2025 series focuses on Water

(re)Claiming Water Relations and Kinships from the oceans to the mountains to the rivers

Through outdoor field trips, overnight camps, and virtual and in-person meetups, the EcoTruths for Indigenous Youth Internship engages Native youth in fostering relationships with jewed ka:cim, Mother Earth, all her offspring, and the various forms of life that have emerged from her re-creative energies in an Indigenous communal (re)building space.

In (re)establishing our relationship with her local personalities and powers, we hope to (re)member our responsibility to her and all our relations. (Re)membering one’s relationship to the Lands one shares with others, one may begin to identify their own EcoTruths. Truths that can help better inform pathways into Eco-Leadership and defense through policy creation and development.

This Internship is created and led by Indigenous professionals specifically for Indigenous youth.

Seasonal Labs include: Autumn Lab, Winter Camp, Spring Lab, Summer Mentoring
