Our nature school educates future Earth stewards, we bridge indigenous tradition and technology, fostering a future where humanity thrives in tandem with the planet.
Mission
The Huya Aniwa Institute is guided by Indigenous wisdom and dedicated to preserving the sacred lands surrounding the Sierra Madre Occidental. Through strategic land-buy back initiatives and reforestation efforts, our goal is to establish a sanctuary for jaguars and the rich biodiversity of the region.
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.
