Global Wisdom Collective first created the Revitalize the Roots Initiative that seeks to protect vital lifeways and traditional knowledge, alongside and for indigenous communities, to safeguard sacred ecological practices and culture for generations to come. We work in council with the youth, elders, and wisdom keepers of each society to protect oral stories that we cannot afford to lose.

Jamii Asilia Centre became the first inaugural partner.

With Jamii Asilia Centre, the two organisations co-founded the Revitalize the Roots: Bikaptorois program, which has now been in implementation since 2023. This specific program is community led, and aims safeguard the cultural heritage of the Endorois People,  in their indigenous language for many generations to come. All recorded knowledge systems will not be shared outside of the community.

This initiative seeks to partner with communities to consult and implement supportive intergenerational knowledge sharing infrastructures to create lasting records of Indigenous knowledge systems.
