Together community members and allies can strengthen mental wellness through Tuscarora land-based practices and cultural knowledge systems. Together, we're revitalizing Tuscarora wellness through collective action that honors our connections to land, language, and each other.
We invite you to join our circle of collaboration as we work together to nurture:
- Seasonal gatherings on the land where traditional knowledge flows between generations
- Skarù·ręˀ Awękwehstá·θe·ˀ (Tuscarora Youth Group) activities that strengthen cultural identity and belonging
- Community-led food sovereignty initiatives that nourish both body and spirit
- Language reclamation projects that restore cultural frameworks for understanding wellness
Through these interconnected practices, we cultivate "Strawberry Wisdom" – our shared understanding that the strawberry serves as heart medicine, the first fruit that shows us the abundance ahead. As we tend our relationships with each other and with the land, our collective wellbeing flourishes through these connections.
Become part of a community-centered movement where we share stories, honor cultural protocols, and revitalize healing traditions together. This collaborative approach recognizes that mental wellness emerges from our collective wisdom of place, language, and intergenerational knowledge. Nyaweh for walking with us on this path.
