Climate Change, Food Security, & Indigenous Ways of Knowing
Global and local climates are changing at startling rates. These changes mean that both humans and other organisms need to adapt in order to survive. Food security is becoming a greater concern as our food distribution networks have had their vulnerabilities exposed by recent supply chain disruptions. In order to ensure a future where localities have enough to eat, we must learn how to support ourselves on the land. Indigenous peoples have long lived in harmony with nature by walking gently and respecting the Earth. This knowledge and connection with nature is important for building a resilient and reciprocal future.
Knowledge Circles & Climate Change
As climate change progresses it is of great importance that we learn how to adapt. One sustainable way to do this is to partner with nature! Nature-based solutions to climate change involve understanding how we can join forces with the nature to build infrastructure and restore habitats in a way that will increase our resiliency against the pressures caused by climate change. Local and Indigenous knowledge is essential in navigating these holistic solutions and paving the way forward.

Building Between: Green and Local Building
Sustainable and eco-conscious building design is important for maintaining the integrity of our natural systems and minimizing our ecological footprint, while ensuring the infrastructure is healthy and durable for future generations.
Our Building Between - Eco-innovation effort works to provide property owners and developers with access to information, resources, local experts, green building solutions and permaculture know-how (architectural design that reflect and use earth processes)- in order to transform mainstream development styles into more sustainable and respectful solutions that support local economies.

Anishinaabek Land Trust
We are looking to help restore Minobimaadiziwin (the way of the good life) for Anishinaabe through developing an independent and entirely Indigenous Land Trust. This Trust uses Traditional Governance and follows original Teachings within a charitable framework to help revitalize the Anishinaabe Nation.
Feeding the Land Between
Our current food systems and supply chains are extremely vulnerable to disruption (as we have all recently witnessed). On top of their vulnerability to economic disputes (like trade wars) and logistical backlog, climate change will likely cause major disruptions in the near future. Food security (the ability of a country, province, town etc, to provide enough food to support themselves) is a concern that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. The Land Between Charity is working with farmers, and partners to improve the food security of the region.
