Cempazuchitl Collective

Indigenous skill shares and discussions on occupied Dakhóta lands—creating space for cultural resilience, healing, and ancestral wisdom.

Since 2019, we have created safer spaces for QTBIPOC and BIPOC youth to learn skills that empower them. Some past skill shares have been garden bed making, canoe building and woodworking, making medicines, making hand drums, plant identification, and native food harvesting and processing. All of these skill shares are always free of charge to participants and focus on bettering the health and wellness of Indigenous folks. 

Our work has adapted to fit the needs of the community during difficult times such as the pandemic, uprising, and to help water protectors, where skill shares and discussions were BIPOC medic trainings and medicine-making workshops during a time when EMS were a greater need. 

Cempazúchitl Collective is Indigenous led and strives to center two spirit, queer and trans Indigenous folks to create safer spaces to learn, heal and grow with community.
