The work of protecting, preserving, and revitalizing culture encompasses a rich and diverse set of strategies and platforms for crucial and creative assertions of sovereignty, self-determination, and cultural expression. Further, it is widely recognized that cultural revitalization is requisite for community wellness and the cultural integrity of modern Indigenous communities. Efforts glean from the past, but are not locked into a narrowly focused mandate to return to some idealized former time. Art, song, storytelling, ceremony, language reclamation, food sovereignty, land protection are all drawn on to celebrate, elevate, and reclaim cultural knowledge systems, re-establish relationship and reciprocity, advance healing and reconciliation, and provide the foundation for understanding the world.
