Local acknowledgement
The site clearly acknowledges Coast Salish territories and keeps that acknowledgement visible.
About
First Nations community care with practical hands and an open heart.
Sweetgrass Clan supports vulnerable community members through outreach, essentials, referrals, and culturally respectful care.
Mission
Responding to immediate need while honouring dignity and belonging.
The work of Sweetgrass Clan is rooted in care for people facing hardship. Support is practical and relational: meals, supplies, referrals, outreach, and respect for the whole person.
Values
- Dignity: no one is reduced to their hardship.
- Respect: support is offered without judgement.
- Culture: First Nations identity and care are treated with responsibility.
- Accountability: donations and volunteer time should serve real needs.
Cultural respect
Culture is not decoration. Culture is relationship.
Sweetgrass Clan’s website language and design should honour First Nations people, local territories, protocols, and community responsibility without generic or pan-Indigenous tokenism.
Practical care
The message is grounded in real support: food, supplies, referrals, outreach, and community presence.
Respectful imagery
Images are used to show care and community presence, not cultural extraction or decoration.
