Kisematawaw

shamattawa

Here are the different ways in which we currently support the important work of our partners in Kisematawaw (Shamattawa)

Traditional Harvesting

We support harvesters in Kisematawaw with supply subsidies for fuel and other needs, so that they can harvest traditional local foods for elders and the community at large. 

Gardening

We regularly send soil, seeds, and gardening tools for the community to use at their two greenhouses, one hosted by our partner and the other hosted by the Shamattawa Health Centre.  

Medicine and Ceremony Supports

During the summer months we support elders and community members to collect water and land-based medicines in the areas around Kisematawaw. 

Livestock

We supported the development of two chicken coops last year so that the community could start raising chickens as an additional local food source. 

Winter Roads

During winter, we send harvesting and gardening supplies and help fill equipment gaps when they arise.
