About us

Todd and Marvin in Guatemala Internationally, indigenous cultures and their traditional lands/habitats are becoming ever so scarce with the encroachment of civilization and the western world. Our organization is dedicated to the assistance/preservation of indigenous peoples and their cultures and traditional lands. Essentially, and as our mission statement denotes we assist in the generation of fresh revenue streams for the continued preservation of our world's natural places and the deep cultural traditions therein. We do so by initiating and developing indigenously sustainable endeavors of global import through joint endeavors with indigenous grass-roots organizations formed by indigenous people to preserve their culture. The aforementioned indigenously sustainable endeavors also fall within the scope of being not only revenue generating (so as to bring in fresh resources to drying and needy areas) and socially responsible, but also environmentally sound and of conservationist import. Essentially, our endeavors aim to provide the much-needed resources to traditional people who chose to live traditionally so that they may do just that unencumbered-freedom of resource to the indigenous peoples!
We implement a variety of models to generate revenue for these struggling cultural groups; however, we are currently using four main modes:


GLOBAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS INCLUDING BIODIVERSITY AND CULTURE

ORGANIC AND ECO-FRIENDLY AGRICULTURE

MUTUALLY SYMBIOTIC EDUCATIONAL INTERACTIONS

INDIGENOUSLY SUSTAINABLE AND ASSISTED MARKETING OF CULTURAL WARES

We have been working on the above endeavors with cultural groups of Maya in Belize for many years now. We have full governmental support and work predominantly through various indigenously-run grass-roots organizations. We have also begun similar endeavors in Guatemala where we have similar governmental support and work with local groups. We have been working on these endeavors for one year now with ties that go back decades. Additionally, we are working to establish similar projects in Peru for the past several years through grassroots organizations and are moving to establish the same elsewhere internationally.

The above endeavors will help to facilitate the much-needed development of healthful self-sustainability among people who chose to live healthfully and traditionally.
