Coastal Relationalities and Regeneration
The Coastal Relationalities and Regeneration (CORR) research project is a collaboration between Nuchatlaht First Nation (Vancouver Island), Anishinaabek (Eastern/Central Great Lakes region), Kānaka Maoli (Hawaiʻi), and Māori (Aotearoa). CORR uses Indigenous research methodologies to contribute to coastal Indigenous communities’ acts of resurgence and reclamation of their lands and waters.
Meet the Stars
The project conceives of each partner community as a star in a learning constellation, united by their common goals to improve Indigenous lives, enable Indigenous communities to uphold their ancestral responsibilities, and amplify Indigenous resurgence.
Baawiting & Bkejwanong
Our Anishinaabe partners are based in the Great Lakes region, on both sides of the settler border. They formed Ojiibikan, a non-profit organization with members from Bkejwanong, Gnoozhekaaning, and Baawiting.
Hawaiʻi
Kānaka Maoli constellation members are working with HŌʻĀ to revitalize their homelands in Hawaiʻi.
Aotearoa
We are working with Māori partners in Whāingaroa and Pukehou/Te Hauke, on the north island of Aotearoa. They are part of the Aotearoa Water Patrol and Whenua Wai Ora.
Nuchatlaht
Nuchatlaht First Nation is a self-governing Indigenous nation located on the west coast of Vancouver Island. They are one of fourteen members of the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council.
