We’re building something real, rooted in our responsibilities to the people, the land, and future generations. What started as a single camp has grown into a much bigger vision. At Mni Owe Sni, we saw what’s possible when community comes together in a good way, people were fed, supported, protected, and reconnected to culture. That wasn’t just a moment. It was a proof of concept. Now we’re taking the next step. This GoFundMe is supporting the development of a new, community-led space built on Indigenous values. A place where families, elders, and youth can gather, learn, and live well. Our focus is on creating sustainable systems, not temporary solutions. Here’s what your support is actively funding: • Land-based community spaces and future camp development • Food systems, feeding families and teaching hunting, fishing, and gardening • Cultural education, language, ceremony, and traditional skills • Direct mutual aid, rent support, emergency help, and stabilization for relatives in need • Youth programming, safe spaces, outdoor activities, and cultural connection • Infrastructure, supplies, equipment, and long-term setup for community use • Economic development, helping our people build businesses, generate income, and become self-sufficient We are also working toward establishing a traditionally structured nonprofit and governance model, one that reflects who we are as Indigenous people, not a copy of outside systems. This includes rebuilding leadership structures, strengthening accountability, and creating pathways for real sovereignty in action. This work is not backed by large institutions. It’s powered by the people. Every dollar goes back into the community, into food, supplies, direct support, and building the foundation for something long-term. This is about creating stability, opportunity, and a future our children can grow into with pride. If you’ve supported before, you’ve already seen the impact. If you’re just finding this work now, this is your chance to be part of building something that lasts. We’re not just responding to problems. We’re building the solution. Miigwech for standing with us. Aho!
