Huya Aniwa Foundation

Bridging Ancient Wisdom to Future Renewal

Mission

Our mission is to revitalize and preserve cultural heritage and sacred lands in partnership with indigenous communities and their leadership.

Our commitment extends to integrating traditional wisdom into sustainable land stewardship.

Through reforestation efforts and support for ancestral practices, we aim to restore and protect the natural environment, as well as indigenous traditions, fostering a harmonious balance for all living beings.

Reciprocity

Our core value at the Huya Aniwa Foundation is reciprocity, as we believe that true partnership with Indigenous communities involves a mutual exchange of respect, knowledge, and resources. This guiding principle underscores our dedication to building sustainable relationships that not only preserve cultural heritage and sacred lands but also supports and uplifts Indigenous communities through shared efforts and collaboration.

Huya Aniwa means "the magical universe of nature,” a term from the Yoreme or Yaqui peoples of Mexico.

This term applies not only to the beauty of the natural environment, but also signals the fact that indigenous cultures perceive it as a portal, as the greatest expression of the indigenous philosophy of life. Which at once shows how the connection between humanity and nature is essential to our existence.
