YCCBC is grateful to be involved with this project and supports the Kwakwaka'wakw Revitalization Project with admin, fundraising, and logistics coordination, and takes direction from Ma'amtagila Matriarchal leadership.


Current projects at the village include:

  • increasing infrastructure, including building a big house;

  • organizing and running several youth camps starting this summer of 2023 with a focus on food security, infrastructure enhancement, traditional land management practices, and off-grid technologies training;

  • working towards establishing an eco-tourism/cultural-tourism venture at the village to assist in establishing economic self-determination at the village, as well as to further public education about Indigenous Sovereignty.

Tsas is also one of the YCCBC Advisors; learn more about Tsas.

We are committed to maintaining and growing respectful relationships in every region where we work.

 

YCCBC recognizes that colonization has deeply disrupted Indigenous Peoples’ relationships with their lands, communities, and cultural practices. We understand that the climate crisis is rooted in ongoing systems of colonialism and resource extraction—systems that became possible through the dispossession of Indigenous Peoples from their homelands.

We believe that Indigenous sovereignty is essential to building just futures and liveable worlds. YCCBC is committed to listening, learning, and walking in solidarity with Indigenous communities and to supporting Indigenous-led climate action across the province.
