Land Use Plan Trips

You are invited out on trips to learn about important work happening on the swiya. As we travel together, we look forward to hearing your values and input to build the ongoing Land Use Plan. We will review the values we hold for fish, animals, water, trees, medicine, places for family, spiritual connections, cultural considerations and all that is key to our people.
