We work to: 

• Increase land access for traditional Tribal and intercultural land-based practitioner use

•  Protect Island Anishinaabe cemeteries and sacred sites

• Facilitate on-Island, intercultural land based shared resource agreements

We are a hybrid conservation and community land trust, allowing us to steward land for multiple purposes, depending upon agreements made with land partners. For example, we can steward land for: 

• Conservation AND traditional Indigenous land use 

• Conservation AND land-based economic infrastructure such as sugar houses, traditional structures, and other harvesting infrastructure

• Regenerative farming operations and necessary infrastructure

• Different purposes for different parts of each donated land parcel. 

One of the first lands to incorporate will be our own Flicker House, a central house on Main Street that we are developing as a community center for Anishinaabe culture and intercultural relationship building.
