LORE OF THE LAND:

Our partner and fiscal sponsor who helps us accomplish our goals of working with Native People.

Mission: Lore of the Land’s mission is to develop and nurture the art of bioregional sound collage and provide training in aural history recording within indigenous and traditional communities throughout the American West, including northern Mexico.  Lore of the Land, Inc. recognizes the direct relationship between indigenous culture and environment, traditional wisdom and knowledge of habitat, the power of place and inter-species communications.  Lore of the Land enables communities to record their own cultural and contemporary aural art forms, control dissemination of these materials, and conserve their unique system of coordinates for navigating within the biosphere.  This knowledge holds the key to restoring the Earth.
