Our Purpose
Welcome to our digital exploration of the Rocky Mountains, a sacred region whose peaks and valleys have long been home to Indigenous Nations. Before these lands were marked as a national park, they were places of ceremony, migration, and deep ecological wisdom. This website honors the enduring presence, knowledge, and strength of the Tribes who have called the Rockies home for thousands of years. As you navigate our pages, we invite you to reflect on the stories, contributions, and futures of these communities, not as distant histories, but as living cultures shaping the present and stewarding the future. We aim to highlight the following:
TEK
Rooted in deep connection to land, Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) offers powerful models for sustainable environmental stewardship today.
Climate Adaptation
Tribal communities are innovating at the frontlines of climate change, blending ancestral knowledge with modern tools to adapt and thrive.
