Nia Tero - 2021 Annual Report - Report - Page 4
INTRODUCTION
Thriving Peoples.
Thriving Places.
As we bring our fourth year as an organization to
a close, we're reflecting on the importance, as well as
the strides and successes, of Indigenous guardianship
across the world. Nia Tero honors the diverse ways
people understand this term. For us it demonstrates
the ability of Indigenous peoples' sovereign right to
govern and manage collective territory; it is linked
to cultures, languages, and practices as connected
to thriving land, water, and place; and it has a vital
intergenerational dynamic. We hope as you read
through these pages, you will see the importance
of Indigenous guardianship woven throughout.
We thank you for joining us!
