"Decolonizing minds, reclaiming customary habitats and resources and Knowledge Systems, we are building islands of hope of a more just, equitable, sustainable, livable life for us all. The Ărramăt Project and its people, to us, are like co-travellers on this new trail we can rediscover. Thank you Ărramăt Project Team and its leadership for making us feel so comfortable."

OUR INNOVATIONS

At the heart of our project lies a commitment to transformational innovations that support Indigenous communities and promote environmental health. Our Project aims to respect and incorporate Indigenous knowledge systems, ensuring that our approaches are inclusive, culturally responsive, and forward-thinking.

Explore the key areas where we are making a difference:

Data Sovereignty

Our governance framework and plans related to Indigenous Data Sovereignty are based on “Ethical Space” through which we agree to be inclusive and responsive to cultures and modes of decision-making of diverse Indigenous Peoples engaged.
