How can we, as a community, work together to care for our land and sea (ÁLEṈENEȻ)?
That’s the central question guiding two upcoming community engagement sessions, focused on shaping WSÁNEĆ governance and stewardship practices for land and sea.
These sessions are part of the broader WSÁNEĆ Marine and Land Use Plan and are designed to be inclusive, participatory, and rooted in WSÁNEĆ ways of knowing and being.
