Who We Are
The PEPAKEṈ HÁUTW̱ Foundation is a W̱SÁNEĆ based non-profit organization based out the of the PEPÁḴEṈ HÁUTW̱ (Blossoming Place) Native Plant Nursery & Garden at the ȽÁU,WELṈEW̱ Tribal School.
We lead numerous restoration projects throughout the W̱SÁNEĆ homelands, in particular at SṈIDȻEȽ (Tod Inlet, Gowlland-Tod Provincial Park).
What We Do
Practicing land-based education & ecosystem restoration
We conduct active ecological restoration, host programs and events for the public, provide educational workshops for W̱SÁNEĆ children and youth, manage a ŚI¸ŚEJ (forest garden), plant nursery, and food garden, and participate in W̱SÁNEĆ culture and protocols.
During our workshops and events, we share the importance of native ecosystems, uplift the network of embedded relations that are needed to support future generations, promote food literacy and security, and provide training and resources for land stewardship.
It is our responsibility to contribute to the health of native ecosystems, and to share our knowledge and teachings about restoration practices.
