COYA Productions in the Community

COYA strives to be in reciprocal relationships within Traditional Territory of lək̓ʷəŋən Speaking Peoples, home of the Songhees, Kosapsum, and W̱SÁNEĆ Nations.
We invest in a future with more Indigenous educators in these communities by birthing 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 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 Protocol and Procurement spending as an impact indicator and participate in the South Island Indigenous Business Directory.
All gifting done to honour protocols are procured locally from the Aunty Collective - supporting local artisans and the maker economy.
We donate 1% of our revenue to Carbon Sequestration in our effort to protect Mother Earth.
We partner with leaders seeking matriarchal governance of their time, money, and AI.

Alongside hosting feasts, sweat lodge, ceremonies, drum circles, hunting and harvesting with our families, and experiencing joy with our children everyday,
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.
We intend to be good relatives and ancestors.
Feedback is a gift to our growth.

Love to all our relations,
COYA
