Return to the River: Your Gift Makes It Happen!
Your donation to the Return to the River campaign gives the Rappahannock River a precious gift. This vital waterway holds deep historical significance for the Rappahannock people. Our ancestors built their lives around the river – fishing its waters, harvesting oysters, hunting along its banks, cultivating crops, crafting pottery, weaving baskets, setting fish traps, and casting nets. The forced displacement of our Tribe and ancestors severed our physical but not our spiritual connection to the river.
Today, numerous threats endanger the health and well-being of all who depend on the Rappahannock River. Our Tribe leads efforts to restore and protect this precious waterway, knowing we must preserve its integrity for future generations, and we need your help. Your contribution to our Giving Day 2024 campaign will help safeguard this vital resource and empower our Tribe to strengthen our preservation efforts.
Your donation will fuel crucial initiatives: restoring natural habitats, implementing sustainable water quality practices, and advancing conservation projects. We prioritize reconnecting our youth with their ancestral homeland through sharing our cultural practices, indigenous conservation methods, sustainable agriculture techniques, and spiritual connection to the land and water. Support our Return to the River Campaign with your tax-deductible contribution today.
