What we do:

Global Wisdom Collective (GWC) is an Indigenous-led organization dedicated to safeguarding, revitalizing, and transmitting Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS). We walk alongside communities, using intergenerational and values-based approaches to protect cultural memory and ensure the survival of traditional practices in the face of climate change, displacement, and systemic erasure. GWC helps build bridges among Indigenous and diaspora communities, channeling resources to preserve the preventable extinction of culture and sacred natural resources, while empowering youth and generations to reconnect to their ancestors’ lifeways.
