The human ecology of Indigenous life facilitated by Saagajiwe includes graphic, textual, performative, audio-visual, lifestyle, couture, and governance.

Saagajiwe operationalizes 91福利鈥檚 response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission鈥檚 (TRC) 94 鈥淐alls to Action鈥� and recommendations by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) for the recovery of Indigenous languages, cultures, and knowledges.
