Cultural Grants
The Cultural and Community Grants Program offers small annual grants to our Member Nations to assist with cultural activities, sporting events, and community gatherings.
Special Projects
The needs of Member Nations are always evolving. This is how NmTC stays ready to meet them.
Beyond our core service areas, Naut'sa mawt Tribal Council pursues additional project funding to respond to emerging priorities. These projects are driven by what the Nations bring to us — and they reflect the full range of what walking alongside the Nations can look like.
No two projects are the same. That is the point.
Organizational & operational excellence
Impactful programs, projects, & services
Meaningful conversations & communications
Projects
The following projects offer a window into the kinds of work NmTC takes on when the Nations bring us a need worth pursuing.
Cultural Training and Inclusion
Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council’s cultural training and inclusion project currently includes two training programs for Member Nations and their staff: Honouring The Truth—Our Shared History, and Stronger Together – Cultural Identity as a Path to Healing.
Wills & Estates
The Naut’sa mawt Wills and Estates project is designed to support and educate community members in creating wills with an Indigenous approach. Our goal is to strengthen understanding around wills and estate planning to promote informed decision-making and build capacity within each Nation.
Recent Projects
Gardens2Gardens
We developed a Nation-to-Nation knowledge sharing project called Gardens 2 Gardens in partnership with Tsleil-Waututh and Malahat Nations. The project focused on working together to strengthen community gardens and the capacity of those who tend them through hands-on mentorship in the gardens. In addition, we developed place-based educational resources such as seasonal calendars, checklists, guides, and management plans.
Governance Toolkit
A comprehensive Governance Toolkit was developed to more effectively communicate the identity, purpose, and operations of Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council. The toolkit features detailed information on Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council’s Member Services, organizational structure, frequently asked questions, Member Nation profiles, and highlights our Executive Team.
