Using business allies to fund Indigenous-led stewardship projects

In Tofino (Načiks), British Columbia, which is in the unceded territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, a program called Tribal Parks Allies is funding land management projects run by the traditional stewards of the land.

Businesses in Tofino that become a Tribal Parks ally pledge to contribute 1% fee collected from transactions to Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Parks. The revenue gathered from this ecosystem service fee is invested into the people and programs that care for the area and community. It also funds the Tribal Parks Guardians program, where Tla-o-qui-aht People take a hands-on role of stewarding the largest remaining intact rainforests on Vancouver Island. Guardians are involved with environmental monitoring, restoration, cleanup and management of protected areas.

            Since many Indigenous terms have no direct English translation, this focus on language offers invaluable insights into how these lands were revered and protected long before their survival was jeopardized by colonialism💯💯💯
