    - Tribal Member

  • "I came away with a stronger sense of personal responsibility..."

    “…to approach my work through a lens of humility, listening, and long-term relationship-building rather than transactional conservation outcomes.”

    - Conservation practitioner

  • "Spending such a significant amount of time centering ourselves on values--both personal and collective--was very eye-opening and mind-opening to me."

    “To understand how MUCH time is needed to really do that honestly and authentically and to step out of the typical bounds of time as defined by White settler colonialism and capitalism was a truly lived learning experience I very much needed.”

    - Conservation practitioner

  • "I think it has deeply impacted our organization."

    “We now have a dedicated position and funding for Indigenous Relations work. We have a purpose statement which was presented to staff, bringing lots of communication and curiosity across divisions.”

    - Conservation practitioner

  • "There is a strong commitment across the staff for the work going forward."

    “Two board members participated, and both of us are very strongly committed to ensuring the work continues to grow, expand, and weave throughout the organization's goals and activities going forward.”

  • "We now have a strategic plan..."

    “We now have draft compensation guidelines and are assessing our narratives - and potential for evolving narratives - for, with, and about Native Peoples. We are drafting a Community Engagement Strategy that should provide a structure for prioritizing and coordinating decolonization work. We have a new strategic plan that includes the objective: "Understand and embed environmental justice and traditional knowledge in our work from the local to global level."

    - Conservation practitioner

  • "I think the Learning Journey has been integral to these relationships and collaborations."

    “We are working in partnership and in a co-management agreement and have a commitment to a land return approach for two pieces of property. We've also begun working on approaches for conservation efforts and access for cultural practices.”
