Build a World United by Native Culture & Arts.
Our goals go beyond preservation. We activate knowledge so it becomes a living force that teaches, heals, and guides. We strengthen Elders as wisdom-keepers, build bioregional libraries, and create learning systems rooted in culture and nature. Through collaboration, transparency, and long-term stewardship, we help ensure knowledge remains alive, accessible, and protected — so future generations inherit not only information, but guidance and continuity.
We recognize elders as the main source of knowleadge
We
Honor Elders as Wisdom-Keepers and protect Native History, Culture & Arts and restore resilient social foundations rooted in place, culture, responsibility, and care for life and future generations.
Through continuous integration of research and constant delivery of collaborative practices, we execute evolving architectures and frameworks that recognize Nature and Knowledge as the collective engine of peace, grounded in care for territory, culture, family, and life.
Elders as Professional Wisdom Keepers
Our work begins by recognizing Elders as the true teachers and architects of knowledge. We support them financially and technically so they can share what they carry with dignity and stability. Together, we design programs, document teachings, create publications and media, and protect cultural sovereignty through ethical agreements. By honoring Elders as Professional Wisdom-Keepers, their voices become living education — guiding communities and future generations instead of being lost.
Vision
Knowledge cannot exist without the people who carry it. Elders are the living archives of language, ceremony, ecological memory, and moral orientation. Native International supports elders as professional wisdom keepers by providing financial, technical, logistical, and research support so that teachings can be documented, transmitted, and responsibly shared. This work operates through bioregional structures called the Agile Bioregion Circles (ABC), where communities participate in decision-making, cultural continuity is strengthened, and knowledge is preserved according to protocols that honor peace, unity, and reconciliation for community benefit.
Our mission is to protect, organize, and transmit our Elders’ Knowledge as a living community in balance with nature. We work to connect Elders, youth, and communities through libraries, gatherings, and bioregional learning spaces rooted in respect and dignity. By combining ancestral wisdom with ethical technology, we create systems that preserve culture while supporting real community needs.
Mission
A. Assist Elders: Elders are the living memory of humanity, their languages, songs, ceremonies, ecological knowledge, medicines, values, and stories that reconnect people with nature. Elders are recognized as essential teachers whose work must be supported financially, documented, and transmitted with dignity.
B. Bridge Generations: Connect Elders and youth through experiences that honor music, literature, poetry, dance, science, oral traditions, and everyday ways of living. These teachings are more than information; they are guidance, ethics, and life lessons for families and future generations. They are living natural libraries: The Bioregion.
C. Control Management: Governance with transparency and long-term sustainability. Using modern project-management frameworks, we ensure that every initiative is planned, monitored, and delivered with accountability.
Funding Strategy & Mechanisms
A. Allocate & Protect: The Native International Fund exists to gather resources from donors, supporters, and partners — and ensure those funds are handled with responsibility, transparency, and long-term vision. Every contribution is allocated with purpose and protected through transparent governance and reporting.
B. Build Sustainability: The Fund transforms financial support into sustainable systems — not short-term charity. It provides ongoing assistance for Elders, connectivity, training, support for local economies, and bioregional programs so communities can grow with dignity rather than dependence.
C. Care Through Direct Support: At the heart of the Fund is direct care. Elders receive dignified monthly support, technical tools, internet connectivity, and environments where they can teach and preserve knowledge. By caring for Elders, we strengthen entire families, communities, and cultures.
Cultural & Bioregional Initiatives
Native Bioregions are territories defined by waters, climate, species, and by the peoples who have cared for them across generations. Instead of dividing the world into frontiers, Native Bioregions recognize mountains, rivers, coastlines, deserts, forests, and migration corridors as the proper boundaries that organize life. Within each bioregion, Elders hold ecological memory, communities maintain traditional stewardship practices, and culture evolves in conversation with the environment.
The Official Bioregion Site is the public gateway to each living territory, where nature, culture, and knowledge are organized as one integrated system. It functions as the official reference space for communities, elders, researchers, and allies to understand the identity of a bioregion: its watersheds, ecosystems, languages, histories, arts, medicines, and contemporary challenges. Rather than acting as a generic portal, the site serves as a civic, educational, and cultural infrastructure — documenting local knowledge, highlighting active projects, presenting gatherings and events, and supporting the creation of physical and digital libraries within the territory. Each Official Bioregion Site is grounded in ethical collaboration with the communities themselves, ensuring that information remains respectful, sovereign, and alive. In this way, the platform becomes both archive and pathway, helping communities care for their lands while connecting them to a worldwide network of learning, stewardship, and shared responsibility.
The Mayan Region
The Mayan Bioregion is our living proof of concept — the first territory where our vision has taken root in a complete and beautiful way. For years we have walked the land, listened to Elders, built relationships, created learning spaces, organized gatherings, and developed the Official Mayan Bioregion Site and the Mayan Library as living centers of knowledge. Here, ancestral wisdom meets careful technology, ceremony meets documentation, and communities guide the process. The Mayan Bioregion shows that our model works: Elders are supported, libraries grow, youth participate, and culture remains alive, shared, and protected — offering a dignified path forward for future generations and for other bioregions to follow.
