Nawalakw Culture Project

Creating a connection with land and language, and creating economic opportunities for the local community.

Nawalakw means “Supernatural” in Kwak’wala, the language spoken in Musgamagw Dzawada’enuxw (MD) territory for many thousands of years.

The Nawalakw Culture Project is a catalyst for community revitalization through the creation and sustainable operation of education and wellness facilities in the territory. Through this work, the project is strengthening connection with land and language for youth, and creating economic opportunities for the local community.

Nawalakw takes a holistic approach to healing and learning within the community. The work and approach centers on the connective nature of reconciliation, meaning we aim to create economic opportunities based on our traditions, as one of many steps towards cultural revitalization. By combining cultural programing, land stewardship, food security, and educational opportunities Nawalakw Culture Project is building new systems and structures that better support the community. A system based in traditional ways of being intertwining economic opportunities, culture, and community good, will help ensure we are able to thrive as a community and with nature now and for the future.
