Land-Based Learning & Healing Spaces
Land-Based Learning & Healing Spaces
September 15, 2019
0 We are working with Indigenous and non-indigenous women, youth and Elders, and collaborating with “Reconciliation through Conservation” Elders and experts from across Canada to create land trusts for returning lands back to Indigenous stewardship. This includes: education, training, micro-economies and healing on the land for the benefit of all Canadians.
The Shuar Waimiaku Project: The Sleeping Anaconda
Shuar families of the community of Buena Esperanza have come together to support the economic development and reclamation of their ancestral lands. Through community-based ecotourism, stewardship of sacred plants, medicines, and sacred sites in their territory, they aim to protect their culture as well as lands for future generations through the creation of Wamiaku centre for Healing, Tourism and Cultural Knowledge Sharing. GIDT is helping them preserve their cultural knowledge and ancestral territory, and support their sustainable economic development within the region through alternative development mechanisms such as community-based eco-tourism.
