LONG TERM DIRECTION

1. Restoring the Health of Land and Water…we need to understand the current state of the entire ecosystem. 
2. Restoring Health of the People… As our culture is reclaimed, our influence grows stronger, our leadership and governance systems re-emerge, and our wampum and other cultural items return…so too will our fish and our health. 
3. Thriving Ecosystems… Peskotomuhkati law, based on natural law, must be respected and co-exist with Canadian law. These laws are in place not to manage the environment, but to manage human behaviour. 
4. Re-establishing a Peskotomuhkati Food Fishery… We recognize that diets rich in sustenance from the land, the rivers and the Bay are crucial for well-being. Therefore, we will prioritize our people’s food needs once all fish populations are restored and before any commercial activity. 
5. Ecologically Sustainable Economy… Ensuring any commercial fishery is ecologically viable and culturally compatible.
