We strive to develop and teach our cultural values and traditional lifeways to our children, as done by our ancestors before us. We serve our Wukchumni people by teaching and actively using methods that help us to protect and preserve our traditional food systems, plants, and traditional ecological knowledge used to sustain our traditional life ways. We work together with guidance from our Elders to provide services and programs that meet the cultural, social, emotional, physical, and housing needs of the Wukchumni people, as well as providing educational opportunities for our youth and community.
