Back 2 the Land Project – a River Rockz Initiative

This project seeks to provide a safe space for youth to increase knowledge of and access to culture-based activities, their languages, rights and laws through participation in a series of land-based activities as well as cultural and artistic workshops and sharing circles. It is their goal for youth to utilize the space as a means of reclaiming their identity, their cultural connection to the land and their community, as well as their personal well-being. Through this project, Indigenous youth will build healthy relationships with their peers, as well as artist mentors who can provide them with inspiration and guidance. The group seeks to encourage Indigenous youth to redefine for themselves what truth and reconciliation means to them, as well as their relationship to this land.
