ROOTED
IN CULTURE

In CCP, we plan from who we are. When you root the process in your Nation’s territory and identity, you create a plan that’s truly yours. By planning from and with your strengths, you embody a future that fully belongs to your community.

CULTURE AT THE HEART OF PLANNING

By placing your identity and your history at the heart of your planning process, you redraw the circle around the strengths, and relationships that unite and define you as a community. This act of reappropriation is not only empowering, it’s also a deep source of motivation for both you and your community.

Language is a powerful tool for unlocking the knowledge rooted in your community, your land, and your history. Through the words and concepts that come from the land – the place where culture evolves – we retrace our steps towards who we are.

Our culture is, in part, the physical manifestation of our environment and language is how it is conveyed.
