Empowering New Indigenous Narratives
RE:DEFINE
HEALING TRAUMA IN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES
“Re:Define – Healing Trauma in Native American Communities” is a national initiative launched in the spring of 2018, by Thrive Unltd. The initiative is aimed at bringing awareness to the effects of historical trauma within Native communities. Through the training series, we take an in depth look at how it’s presence has transformed the dynamics of our families and communities and reflect upon what cultural identity has become versus what it should be. This initiative strives to create coherent and comprehensive conversation between both service/ program providers and community members that empowers and facilitates authentic healing to support family reparation and enhance established community efforts. Our overall objective is to bring restoration to the family system by helping to resolve the traumas that have carried over generations and inhibited the return of healthy relationships and value systems indicative of our traditional culture, in effect, “redefining” cultural identity in contemporary times from a legacy of survival to one thriving.

EVERYTHING BACK
Reclaiming relationships with Indigenous knowledge and lifeways.
Our “Everything Back” initiative was created to emphasize the importance of relationship and connection between Indigenous identity and the living world. As Indigenous philosophy, spirituality,
and value systems are rooted in timeless lessons learned from the land, plants and animals, we feel it vital to remember and rejuvenate these relationships in order for us to thrive as our
ancestors intended. Greater society focuses upon ownership and commodification in regards to land rather than relationship, care and stewardship
with living beings. As Indigenous peoples it has always been our position that we belong to the land and our priority is to know how to work with the land for mutual benefit. Our goal is to create social dialogue and facilitate opportunities for Indigenous communities to reconnect to the land, revitalize their understanding of culture and identity, and empower sovereignty and sustainability for the path ahead.
