Our shared values

old hands touching new

We believe that knowledge flows across generations. Our cultures are our foundation.

This SPIRIT movement creates space to:

  • Transmit language, culture and traditions
  • Learn with and from ancestors, elders, and children
  • Center Indigenous ways of being, knowing and doing

We hold our natural environment as sacred. We are clear about our deep relationship and obligation to lands and waterways.

This SPIRIT movement creates space to:

  • Play, learn and heal intentionally in natural worlds
  • Live in balance with the earth

We believe all things are interconnected.

This SPIRIT movement creates space to:

  • Honor the strength of relational and intentional ways of working
  • Speak, listen, and recognize each other with open hearts and minds
  • Celebrate and inspire each other
  • Sing, laugh and dance together
  • Care for each other and grieve together

We have autonomy over our future. We share histories of colonization and continued attempts of erasure and journey together towards our collective future, defined by reclamation and resurgence.

This SPIRIT movement creates space to:

  • Protect and nurture Indigenous children, spaces, communities and nations
  • Actively advocate for one another and SPIRIT vision, values, objectives
  • Celebrate the diversity of SPIRIT activities, defined by each unique setting/context
  • Exercise choices with clarity and confidence
  • Stand together in solidarity ensuring no voice or community is left behind
