We promote and advocate intergenerational learning experiences within Shoshone-Bannock Traditional Knowledge and Teachings. This takes place in our traditional spaces, places, wild landscapes and rivers through four values Honor, Protect, Restore, & Heal. 

Honor: to fulfill an obligation to what is right in being a good relative. 

• Giving back more than you take, e.g. mentorship & scholarship

• Practicing cultural and traditional hunting, gathering and fishing

• Reducing harm and impact in research, projects and initiatives

• K-12, higher education and outreach

Protect: to keep safe and take care of our relatives; humans, plants, animals, and the land.

• Identifying, and documenting impacts to Indian trust resources and sacred sites

• Prioritize elders and youth safety

• Indigenous intellectual property rights

Restore: bringing back rites, customs & traditions; and returning to a former condition, place, and position.

• Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK); Indigenous land pedagogy & science via storytelling

• Indigenous STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math)

  following our seasonal round

• Decolonization, reconnecting to homelands, places, knowledge

• Build effective means of Curriculum and Instruction within American Indian education

Heal: to become sound and healthy again.

• Ceremony and spiritual practices

• Unpacking historical and inter-generational trauma

• Access to traditional lands, usual and accustomed places

• Providing equity by reducing economic & social stratification of barriers

• Community-building; allyship training, cultivating alliances, and more
