‘Protect Our Land’ is a song written and recorded by a group of our youth from the Tsleil-Waututh Nation siʔáḿθɘt school. The song and accompanying music video were produced by N’we Jinan, a travelling, Indigenous-led studio that works with First Nations youth across Canada.
We are proud of our youth for sharing their voices in protecting our territory and empowering our community. The song is a way for the students to express themselves and the cultural teachings that are at the core of Tsleil-Waututh Nation siʔáḿθɘt (“si-om-thet”) School.
The school provides a culturally appropriate learning environment that nurtures the well-being of students, families, and the community as a whole. Our program is anchored in the TWN laws of truth, family, culture, and well-being. Land-based learning is practiced regularly with our classes spending considerable time doing outdoor experiential education (OEE) in their traditional territories.
