Since 2009, Great Lakes Lifeways Institute (GLLI) has engaged diverse grassroots community groups across the Great Lakes region and Canada to share skills, knowledge, and resources, in order to revitalize traditional ways of being. With the support of Elders and knowledge keepers, they are rebuilding traditional land-based practices and inviting community members of all ages to immerse themselves in the reclamation of their knowledge and power. This knowledge and power is reified through seasonal harvest camps, the construction of traditional cultural spaces, and ancestral watercraft. Their work empowers relation-based, culturally rooted Indigenous approaches to restoring a vibrant, sustainable, and equitable future for their people and all their ecological relatives.
