These 14 principles are distilled from a conversation among three creative practitioners whose work revolves around ideas of land, people, and heritage; as well as inclusions from others who have spoken and written thoughtfully on the topics of indigeneity, ancestry, and kinship. For one of us, this is a specifically Gaelic practice, drenched in their own history, their architectural work focuses on nurturing a return of resources and abundance to the Western Isles. For another, their identity and their collaborative creative work are one, rooted in indigenous and colonial ancestry reaching through creative technologies to work across the global north and south. For the third, the work is an evolving academic discourse about the power of community in action, and the notion that our regenerative futures depend on an integration of old ways of knowing with the now, innovation from tradition. These principles are a guide to keep ever present as we all continue to do work within the ecosystem of people, processes, and place. Whether you are a facilitator, an educator, a developer, a builder, a maker, we can all do with a reminder to think of the big picture, past and present as we shape the future.
