Guided by the 7 Sacred Laws

Indigenous youth are at the forefront of change, advocating for their rights, protecting the environment, and preserving their traditions. With the right support, both financial and cultural, they have the power to shape a brighter and more self-determined future for their communities.

The 7 Sacred Laws are guiding principles that emphasize:

  • Love
  • Respect
  • Wisdom
  • Courage
  • Honesty
  • Humility
  • Truth

While these laws come from Indigenous cultural teachings, they can also shape how communities approach money and resources, ensuring that financial decisions are made with care, responsibility, and a deep respect for the land and people.

So, what exactly is this?
