It\u2019s also a way for us to deeply reflect on and evaluate where we are as an organization and where we\u2019ve come from \u2013 so we always have a clear and unified vision for the path ahead.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I reflect on the last seven years, I think of a word in my language: Ea,\u201d <strong>said Camille Kalama, NDN Collective board member. <\/strong>\u201cEa is life, breath, respiration. It also signifies sovereignty and independence. The work we&#8217;ve done \u2013 such as building schools, reclaiming and restoring homelands, supporting language revitalization, fostering cultural practices, and developing values-aligned economic initiatives \u2013 are all in service of Ea. To decide how we want to raise our children and what they learn in school: this is Ea. This is what it means to breathe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>###<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ndncollective.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>NDN Collective<\/em><\/a><em> is an Indigenous-led organization dedicated to building Indigenous power.
