Connecting to the Land is a registered non-profit dedicated to the promotion and preservation of Indigenous languages and cultural practices.
Connecting to the Land was first conceived around the fire at Macehcewik sipohsisol ("where the brooks begin"), where, in 2017, Wolastoqewi mothers and grandmothers collaboratively established a permanent camp to defend their unceded and traditional territory against Northcliffe Resources and the Sisson Mine.

The organization was formally registered as a non-profit in the spring of 2021 for the purpose of seeking and obtaining funding for a series of projects, services, planned actions, and initiatives that will support Indigenous resurgence and facilitate processes of re-connection between Wabanaki people and their land.
