The Anishinaabek Land Trust exists to restore relationships with the land, recover original governance, and create space for Anishinaabek teachings and worldviews to be lived again. The land, waters, plants, animals, and all living beings have always been teachers. They continue to show us how to live in balance, how to care for one another, and how responsibility is shared.

Through lands held outside of the Indian Act, the Land Trust creates opportunities for First Nations people to reconnect with language, teachings, and land-based responsibilities, while also helping settlers better understand the original spirit and intent of the treaties. These treaties were rooted in sharing the land, not owning or controlling it. The Land Trust provides a place where this understanding can be practiced, with First Nations guiding how land is used, respected, and cared for.
