Absolutely. Land-based programming is an essential part of culturally based programming. Culture is tied to the land. Language is tied to the land. Who we are as individuals is tied to the land. That opportunity, in particular for urban folks, to be able to access land-based teachings, where they haven't had the opportunity or they lack the economic ability to access land-based teachings, is critical. That is really at the root of who we are as indigenous people.
Again, it's that connection to our understanding of who we are, how we breathe and how we live. When we introduce ourselves as indigenous individuals, we will often tie ourselves to the land we come from. That's what lives in our bones and that's what lives in our blood. That's who we are as individuals. That access back to the land is restoring that sense of belonging and identity and knowing who we are as individuals.
