"We must protect the forests for our children, grandchildren, and children yet to be born. We must protect the forests for those who can't speak for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish, and trees."
- Chief Qwatsinas, NUXALK NATION

Protecting Turtle Island for Future Generations

We are an Indigenous-led non-governmental land trust dedicated to preserving Turtle Island. Our focus is on sustainable land management to ensure a healthy environment for the next seven generations of 'All Our Relations.' Our practices are guided by Traditional Cultural Land Stewardship.
