We have also begun collecting data to enhance our reporting to funders, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data to demonstrate how we are mitigating the effects of historical trauma on our people, culture, language, and environment. The Nia Tero Grant funded the following projects Buffalo Project, Circle Camp, Language Projec, VR Projec, Way Of Life Project, General & Admin costs and the Wayfinders Circle.
