Cultural Programs
The District provides cultural programs regarding to the indigenous cultural preservation to preserve indigenous traditions, languages and customs connecting past generations with the present and future, as well as welcomes those unfamiliar with the indigenous legacy. The District’s mission is twofold:
1. To first educate Indigenous People(s) and targeted underserved communities, the District offers programs and services grounded in traditional values that honor and preserve cultural heritage. These initiatives emphasize important principles such as conflict resolution, the strengthening of familial bonds, respect for elders, gender equality, and cultural identity. Central to this approach is the incorporation of the medicine wheel philosophy, recognition of the Creator, the revitalization and preservation of Indigenous languages, and the nurturing of spiritual well-being. By embracing these core values, the District seeks to empower individuals and communities, fostering a sense of pride, identity, and resilience for present and future generations.
2. To educate the wider public, by implementing indigenous cultural preservation and demonstrating the indigenous culture by sharing culture with the wider public and inviting them to the seasonal ceremonies, events, and holy-days with respect to the sanctity of the indigenous ways while also offering workshops that include survival skills, fishing, hunting, flint napping, and certain traditional ceremony demonstrations.
