Windz of Change Alliance Grants

Windz of Change Alliance

In partnership with UW Botanical Gardens, PlantAmnesty, and Tribal community eco-cultural environment leaders, we are requesting assistance for Indigenous programming/presenters, protocol/honoring supplies/art, raffle, traditional foods, promotional and student/community invitations. Creating and implementing a 99% Indigenous-voiced UW Urban Forestry Symposium on 11/2/2023 at the UW Intellectual Longhouse is the goal. Building environmental awareness, understanding, and respect of First People's knowledge, protocols, cultural heritage, socio-ecological stewardship and ethics, and urban-focused policies for collective climate change, forestry and waters restoration, rejuvenation, and renewal affecting human impact, health, food sovereignty, and cultural applications (cedar carvings/uses) are scope areas. Purposeful vision is to Bridge, Build, Benefit, Beautify through relationships, teachings, cultural activities, engagement, and experiences of Indigenous ways for collective solutions.
