🌱 Seeds of Reconnection:
Stories and Lessons for the Future
Our Reconnection Vision Fellows have spent the past four years walking a path of learning, listening, and building together. Along that path, something powerful has grown — the Seeds of Reconnection.
These Seeds aren’t just ideas on paper. They’re lived experiences gathered from youth, Elders, and community members across the Yukon. They carry the voices of our people — our languages, our teachings, and the way we live on the land. They remind us that the systems around us weren’t built for us to thrive… and that we have the power to imagine and grow something better.
The first Seed is simple but life-changing: Heal Ourselves.
In Tagish, it’s called Sògòsene edenahtʼį̄ — take care of yourself. It’s a reminder that wellness is not selfish. It’s the foundation of everything. When we heal, we mend the web that connects us all.
Healing isn’t just something we do alone — it’s something we do together, for each other.
The Seeds speak to things many of us have felt but rarely said out loud:
That our communities can heal from trauma — and deserve to.
That healing should be as normal as breathing.
That we can create schools, workplaces, and systems that support us, instead of triggering old wounds.
The Seeds of Reconnection are an invitation
Especially to Yukon Indigenous youth — to see yourselves as part of this growing story. To learn from it, add to it, and carry it forward.
