The Importance of Indigenous Spaces

Indigenous spaces are more than just physical locations. They are places of cultural, spiritual, and political significance. They are places where Indigenous peoples have lived, worked, and raised families for generations. They are places where Indigenous cultures and traditions have been passed down from one generation to the next.
