Practicing Principals of Ancestral Knowledge
PPAK is a sustainability and life ways series that follows traditional Indigenous teachings and practices. These workshops are aimed to connect people back to living in balance with the Earth through traditional living practices of Native people. As all Indigenous cultures historically lived in balance with the cycles of nature, PPAK instructional series will incorporate these ways into contemporary teachings, demonstrations and Indigenous philosophy taught by Native community members and practitioners who have learned skills from Native elders.
