The Woodland Cultural Centre wants to say nya:węh

The Woodland Cultural Centre wants to say nya:węh/niá:wen to our giving community for your generosity on #GivingTuesdayCA. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for your continued support of the Centre and the work we do! ⁠
⁠
Executive Director Heather George writes “Our supporters and donors have once again displayed their generosity and that they, like all of us at Woodland, are passionate about cultural reclamation, preservation and celebration. Your support of our language department is an act of true kindness and love. Our languages are so much more than words on paper – language frames deep philosophical and relational understandings that help all of us engage in kinder, more compassionate ways and are an important part of our healing from the trauma of residential school. Like many not-for-profit organizations that participate in #GivingTuesday, charitable donations form an important part of our financial wellbeing and they are also an important indication that you believe in us and the work we do. ⁠

We are so grateful to have your continued support and generous contribution. ⁠

Niá:wen/Nya:węh to all of our donors who have supported the Dwadwęnada:da:t Language Centre today with their gifts, awareness campaigns, and shared social media posts!

There is still time to get your donation in today to help Woodland’s Language Centre create even more helpful resources for our community. The Centre’s goal is to raise $15,000 on #GivingTuesday2023, in support of the Centre’s efforts to strengthen and revitalize Hodinohsho:ni languages and cultures.

By donating, you enable us to create opportunities for dialogue, education, and cultural exchange that strengthen the bonds between generations and cultures. Your generosity ensures that our shared heritage is celebrated and that traditions, languages, and customs are preserved for the benefit of all.

Together, we can work towards a future where the rich tapestry of Hodinohsho:ni communities flourishes, and a stronger sense of identity and pride is instilled in all who are a part of this cultural legacy.
