The Sacred Journey Initiative was born out of commitment to our Indigenous canoe way of life and its teachings.
Community & youth driven film workshops that foster creative expression in themes of indigenous culture, language, and life.
We are a registered nonprofit society established by and for the people of the Heiltsuk First Nation. We are based in Bella Bella on the remote Central Coast of British Columbia, in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest.
Creating opportunities for speaking, writing and reading the Heiltsuk language by expanding and deepening existing community language revitalization and cultural documentation in a digital environment!
