Our Mission
Plenty Canada is an Indigenous-led registered non-profit charitable organization that facilitates access to and shares resources with Indigenous peoples and other community groups around the world in support of their environmental protection and sustainable development goals.
At Plenty Canada we recognize that people are part of the environment and we sustain healthy lives only when the environment as a whole is healthy. For us the environment and the biodiversity of our environment is a precious treasure we need to protect.

Plenty Canada's Hemispheric Indigenous Work
Our commitment is to the Indigenous spirit of cultural revitalization and to the building of economic capacity within our communities. As an Indigenous-led organization, we recognize that humans are one species among many; we are guided by natural law to care for our children and to consider our responsibilities to the next seven generations. Throughout the Western Hemisphere, Indigenous communities have focused on improving the dire economic circumstances facing their peoples. A strong call for community leadership focuses on strengthening local self-sufficiency in agriculture, traditional health and economic potential. The idea is to restrengthen the Native communities’ cultural and economic self-determination. |
