The Sustainable Development Institute recognizes its important role in the global community, emphasizing our indigenous connections, roots, wisdom, and traditions tied closely to the principals of sustainability. We are creating globally aware people whose competencies are grounded in a respect, responsibility, reciprocity, and kinship to all living things. Our Sustainable Development Institute understands our responsibility to share our sustainability knowledge, understandings, wisdom, and practices.
Our Goal is to illustrate, live, and promote the vision of the Menominee leaders of respectful, responsible, and kinship stewardship of our mother earth for future generations’ survival and gifts of life, through education, research, outreach, and practice.
