The Cultural Conservancy - Programs Overview
Through research, education, and advocacy, for over 25 years, TCC has worked on a great variety of projects and programs to assist indigenous communities in the protection and revitalization of native lands and cultures. See below and Accomplishments for more details.
We work to protect and restore Native earth-based cultural traditions and ways of knowing especially songs, stories, and languages related to ancestral lands. We do this through audio recording, media productions and media trainings, and the revitalization of indigenous languages and oral traditions.
