Establish Indigenous enforcement and regulations of our OWN laws, knowledge and territories. Documenting our sacred spaces, hunting, harvesting and ceremonial areas. Using software, mapping to incorporate and record a living history of our stories. This will all come in handy for when encroachment furthers into our traditional territories. It also assists in keeping our language and practices alive. Resurgence efforts by working with neighboring communities to establish youth programs where they seek out elders and knowledge keepers to record the stories and areas in our languages. Begin preparing patrols to protect these same areas. Preparation to include; history of area, teachings on the roles of protection societies, sustenance hunting, knowledge of herbs & medicines, survival skills, self defense and conflict resolution.
