Stqeeye’ Learning Society
Our values
All staff, Board of Directors, volunteers, and community partners will emulate these values as we work in partnership to deliver our programs: Reciprocity, Honesty, Tradition, Integrity, Respect, Inclusivity, Trust, Communication, Accountability and Honouring of Elders and Knowledge Keepers.
Stqeeye’ is an Indigenous led non-profit organization based on Salt Spring Island, BC in the traditional territory of the Quw’utsun Peoples.
Our mission
The mission of the Stqeeye’ Learning Society is the restoration and preservation of lands and waters within Xwaaqw’um (Burgoyne Bay Provincial Park). The non-profit was created by family descendants, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, Youth, and other like-minded individuals for the common purpose of restoring the land and cultural sharing. Stqeeye’ is committed to preserving the Xwaaqw’um village site in partnership with Quw’utsun mustimuhw (Cowichan people).
The Stqeeye’ Learning Society supports self-determination - nothing about us without us; relationship-building as the foundation of our communty; and the sharing of traditional and ecological restoration practices through land-based education.
