Cultural Grants
The Cultural and Community Grants Program offers small annual grants to our Member Nations to assist with cultural activities, sporting events, and community gatherings.
Special Projects
To meet the needs of our Member Nations beyond our key program areas, the Tribal Council seeks additional funding to support projects that can accomplish these goals:
- Organizational and operational excellence
- Impactful programs, projects, and services
- Meaningful conversations and communications
Recent & Ongoing Projects
Cultural Training and Inclusion
Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council’s cultural training and inclusion project currently includes two training programs for Member Nations and their staff: Honouring The Truth—Our Shared History, and Stronger Together – Cultural Identity as a Path to Healing.
Wills & Estates
The Naut’sa mawt Wills and Estates project is designed to support and educate community members in creating wills with an Indigenous approach. Our goal is to strengthen understanding around wills and estate planning to promote informed decision-making and build capacity within each Nation.
Past Projects
Gardens2Gardens
We developed a Nation-to-Nation knowledge sharing project called Gardens 2 Gardens in partnership with Tsleil-Waututh and Malahat Nations. The project focused on working together to strengthen community gardens and the capacity of those who tend them through hands-on mentorship in the gardens. In addition, we developed place-based educational resources such as seasonal calendars, checklists, guides, and management plans.
Governance Toolkit
A comprehensive Governance Toolkit was developed to more effectively communicate the identity, purpose, and operations of Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council. The toolkit features detailed information on Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council’s Member Services, organizational structure, frequently asked questions, Member Nation profiles, and highlights our Executive Team.
