“Since the beginning of our own time, the land has defined our language, culture, and way of life. There was a time in our recent history that we have been steered away from staying connected to the land. That is why, for me, being on the Land makes me whole. The Collaborative gives an opportunity for people to come together and share experiences of on the land activities.” |

"Being on the land is such a big part of who we are, who I am. Getting out on the land or spending time in the bush calms me. It also reminds me of the simpler things needed to be whole. The land helps to secure my identity; allows me to rest and relax; it challenges and teaches me." |
|
“It is important to go on the land to learn about my cultural identity and ensure my children and grandchildren know their traditional knowledge to survive and live off the land.” |
|
"Just the act of being on the land, in itself, is medicine." |
|
"We need to work together to provide solutions to promote healthy choices and wellness in our communities. The Collaborative is important because it is a way to support on the land programming for the well being of all peoples of the North. It is also a way to educate Northerners on the values we hold for our environment. The Collaborative supports the transmission of knowledge from Elders to our youth about our land, waters, history, and culture to ensure they are prepared for their roles as future stewards." |

The Collaborative is a unique and amazing project that supports all ages and cultures across the territory in getting on the land and builds capacity for future programs and generations." |
