Nisenan Miwok Collective Mission Statement:

Through Ancestral Guidance, we work to support TEK Land and Water Restoration, Food Sovereignty, Cultural Practices and Ceremony, and the inherent Right to Self Determination and Economic Resiliency for our People.

Guiding Principles:

Centered on the Land, Our Culture and Our People
Our Traditions, Cultural Values and People are at the center of all that we do.

Building Community

We have a responsibility to honor each other with Trust, Respect and Generosity and will work together to build a community based on these values.

Stewardship

Native Peoples play an import roll in returning Mother Earth to her inherent healthy ecosystems - Healthy Soil, Water, and Air. The goal for the Collective is to regain lands within our Ancestral Territories; to Steward the land through regenerative practices utilizing the Traditional Ecological Knowledge practiced by our people since the begining of time; and finally through partnerships that have been forged, to eventually build an Outdoor Field Lab that will be used to help train other tribal communities, so that we build capacity in land management together, using the ways practiced by Indigenous people for thousands of years.
