DEAF INDIGENOUS

This initiative serves to bridge gaps that exist for American Indian, Alaska Native and First Nations Deaf individuals and groups by providing additional support when it comes to culture, community and communication. By creating easier access to cultural teachings, tools and resources, we can improve the social and spiritual health and well-being of this population.

LIFEGIVERS

~ Honoring the Matriarch ~

In traditional matrilineal societies, women were honored and respected for their wisdom and deep connection to the earth and celestials as life givers.

This initiative brings education and awareness to the connections between Women, Mother Earth and Grandmother Moon; and the modern Indigenous Matriarchs that exist today.
