Giving to the Land
Deepening Who We Are
Giving back to the land of our ancestors is more than an act of generosity—it’s a powerful way to re-indigenize as we reconnect with our roots and honor the legacy of those who came before us. As members of the ethnic diaspora, we carry with us the stories, struggles, and triumphs of our ancestors. By contributing to the well-being and development of our ancestral lands, we not only help uplift communities in need but also deepen our understanding of who we are. This connection to our heritage shapes our God given identity, strengthens our sense of purpose, and allows us to pass on a richer cultural legacy to future generations.
Learning As We Journey
Learning is a profound process when you embark on a journey to rediscover your ethnic heritage and connect with the needs of your ancestral lands. As you uncover the history, traditions, and wisdom of your ancestors, you also become more attuned to the challenges and opportunities facing the communities they once called home. This journey not only deepens your understanding of where you come from but also ignites a sense of responsibility to give back. By engaging with the needs of these ancestral lands, you bridge the past and present, creating meaningful connections that honor your heritage and contribute to the ongoing story of your people. This process transforms both your personal identity and your impact on the world, enriching your life and the lives of others. AT RIC, we hope to walk with you in your journey of re-indigenizing.
The Lands We Give Back To
We are committed to building meaningful connections with ancestral lands, beginning with those most closely tied to heritages represented in our community. As we learn our roots, we aim to provide support and resources where they are needed most, honoring the legacy of our ancestors. Currently we are working to support the needs in Aurum's homeland in Mindanao. However, our vision extends beyond that; we aspire to expand our care to other ancestral lands, recognizing that the challenges faced by one community resonate with many others. Through this broader outreach, we hope to foster solidarity and collaboration across different cultures and regions, creating a network of care that transcends borders and strengthens our shared humanity.
