Guest Post: yəhaw̓ Indigenous Creatives Collective

4Culture’s generous support has been instrumental for yəhaw̓ Indigenous Creatives Collective, enabling us to cultivate a vibrant community space that celebrates Indigenous culture and creativity. With the resources provided by 4Culture, we have been able to prepare our home for a multitude of community events and gatherings, which has significantly enhanced our ability to serve the people and the broader community.
Since receiving this support, we have welcomed over 1,150 visitors to our land, creating an inclusive atmosphere where individuals can connect, share, and learn from one another. We have successfully hosted more than 50 events, including art exhibitions, performances, and workshops.
Moreover, a key aspect of our work is the rematriation of the land. We have planted over 400 native plants, which not only enhance the beauty of our space but also contribute to local biodiversity and sustainability. This initiative has allowed us to educate community members about the importance of native plants and indigenous land care.
Through these efforts, we have seen how 4Culture’s support extends beyond mere financial assistance; it has enabled us to create lasting connections within our community, promote Indigenous culture, and foster an inclusive environment where creativity and Indigenous land stewardship go hand in hand.
