From teepee teachings, hide tanning, and living off the land to Jon’s unique approach to horse training, they discuss the importance of cultural knowledge, connection to the land, and sharing traditional ways of life with future generations and the broader community.

NCTR's spirit name - bezhig miigwan, meaning "one feather".

Bezhig miigwan calls upon us to see each Survivor coming to the NCTR as a single eagle feather and to show those Survivors the same respect and attention an eagle feather deserves. It also teaches we are all in this together — we are all one, connected, and it is vital to work together to achieve reconciliation.
