COYA in the community

COYA Productions is proudly headquartered on Traditional Territory of lək̓ʷəŋən Speaking Peoples, home of the Songhees and Esquilmalt Nations.
We invest in a future with more Indigenous educators in this community by launching the COYA Scholarship for Indigenous Educators with the University of Victoria.
We serve the Urban Indigenous People’s in this territory by volunteering as the Vice President of the Victoria Native Friendship Centre.
We lift up youth in this territory by acting as a Role Model for youth in the Na’tsa’maht Program in School District 62.
We track all our Indigenous Procurement spending and procure locally from the South Island Indigenous Business Directory.
All gifting done to honour our protocols are procured locally from the Aunty Collective - the only Indigenous owned marketplace in this territory.
We donate 1% of our revenue to Carbon Sequestration in our effort to protect Mother Earth.

Alongside hosting feasts, ceremonies, drum circles, and and being on the land with my own family, COYA has demonstrated our expression of UNDRIP Article 15, Article 21, and Article 31. This is the consequences of our actions in respect of the next 7 generations.
