We can be no more plain than that expressive acronym with a built in theme, as the bare gist of our chosen life mission!

Your are invited to grow (y)our concepts… and revitalize our cultures and strengthen relations with and as First Nations.

The times they are a changing, the system rapidly aging and politicians are mired in this system that absolutely refuses to help save the Biota with us. Absolute refusal.

A sistuation that is global. and Brutal.
