• F.P.C.C. WORKSHOPANNUALLY, FIRST PEOPLE'S CONSERVATION COUNCIL HOSTS THIS WORKSHOP ATTENDED BY SIX (6) LOUISIANA TRIBAL COMMUNITIES AND AT LEAST 1 OR MORE VISITING MEMBERS FROM OTHER TRIBAL NATIONS. WE GATHER IN FELLOWSHIP AND SOLIDARITY AS TRIBAL PEOPLES. THE WORKSHOP IS ATTENDED BY TRIBAL MEMBERS RANGING FROM ELDERS TO YOUTHS, AND EVERY AGE IN BETWEEN. WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE PART OF AND MUST LIVE AND NAVIGATE IN THE MUCH LARGER WORLD AROUND US; (A WORLD THAT OFTEN IS UNACCEPTING OF OUR RESISTANCE TO BECOME ASSIMILATED INTO THE LARGER GENERIC POPULOUS) HOWEVER, OUR WAY IS NOT TO SEPARATE OURSELVES TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHERS, BUT TO CELEBRATE WHO WE ARE, AS THE FIRST PEOPLES OF THE LAND. WE COME TOGETHER IN RESPECT OF THE EARTH AND HONORING THE WISDOMS OF OUR ANCESTORS. AT THIS WORKSHOP WE DISCUSS LOCAL COMMUNITY ISSUES AND GLOBAL ISSUES AS WELL; WORKING FOR THREE DAYS TO FIND SOLUTIONS. HERE, WE CREATE TRIBAL ARTWORKS (HIDING, PAINTING, WEAVING, BEADING). WE DRUM AND SING AND DANCE, ALL THESE ACTIVITIES ARE FUN, BUT THE LARGER GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVEDWE ARE TEACHING OUR YOUNG TO APPRECIATE THEIR CULTURE AND EMBRACE THEIR HERITAGE TWO THINGS VERY NECESSARY TO THE VIABILITY AND LONGEVITY OF OUR TRIBES. LAST, BUT IN NO WAY LEAST, FOOD THERE IS ALWAYS GOOD FOOD
