To get a fuller understanding of these initiatives and how to support them, please follow the dropdown menu in the navigation bar titled "Initiatives".

There are and endless amount of possibilities to uplift those in our communities who wish to share their knowledge and understanding of indigenous history and culture on Long Island.

M.I.C. has a strong focus on education and facilitating the transfer of knowledge. Some of the programming M.I.C. has facilitated and supported are, nature walks, historic and cultural presentations, craft making workshops, gardening workshops and more.

The founders of M.I.C. have a long standing history of being both students and educators of Long Island's Indigenous culture and history. This has brought supporting other educators and students to the forefront of M.I.C.'s initiatives.

By ensuring funding, spaces, and outreach, M.I.C. works to amplify the voices of the Indigenous people of Long Island.

A fundamental attribute of a healthy community is the means to come together in safe and healthy environments.

M.I.C. works to be able to bring communities together across Long Island. Both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people have a part to play in the acknowledgment, healing, and understanding of our co-existence on this land.

It is often difficult to find the funding or workforce to be able to hold events that allow for this all to take place.

This initiative to facilitate and support community gatherings is another priority of M.I.C. This includes securing spaces, materials, and workforce to be able to hold ceremonies, socials, networking opportunities and more.

Though the founders of M.I.C. have spent countless hours and years volunteering their time and energy towards much of M.I.C.'s initiatives, it can often be difficult to balance livelihood into the importance of this work.

With that understanding, it is important that our staff feels supported in a way that alleviates the stresses of supporting themselves and their families while also focusing on this work.

This initiative allows the room for much a greater impact M.I.C. can make within our communities.
