"We are all children of one great Mother - Nature."

— Charles Dickens

Á,LEṈENEȻ ȽTE, “home land,” is a foundational law of our people. Since beginning my relationship with Thriving Roots in 2019 I have seen how their work with children teaches values and practices that are very important. These teachings are fundamental. They are not only helpful to the land, but to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health of the children who grow up with them.
