Take a minute to look at the backbone behind LILT’s research and outreach.
Trading Knowledge
An important part of our field-work revolves around making profound and lasting connections within any community.
From the Source
Many of our resources come from in-person conversations with tribal members, who we have to thank for what we know about traditional practices.
