Ancient Language Platform
Indigenous languages hold our relationship and teaching with the land. Each language teaches the learner about specific territories and how to relate to those lands. Our Ancient Languages platform is democratizing access to this precious resource for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples alike.
Culture Keeping
We are dedicated to keeping Indigenous cultures & teachings alive, and bringing them into the Web3 space.
Indigenous Artisan Marketplace
Help us build the first ever Authentic Indigenous Artisan Marketplace. Our marketplace connects with a blockchain copyright certification to bring bankable value to collectors from certified Authentic Indigenous Artisans. Learn about the artist, their First Nation and the teachings of the art you purchase.
Education & Access
Furthering education of Indigenous Communities on harnessing the power of Web3 and NFTs.
A proof of concept Web3 project...
400 Drums is a campaign dedicated to supporting Indigenous Elders, artists, language speakers and tour operators to harness new online platforms to monetize their skills while sharing their teachings and stories.
Among all ancient cultures, are the common threads...
The 400 Drums project aspires to explore, contemplate, communicate and reflect these common threads such that we might dream a new future in balance with the earth and all relations once again.

Where Indigenous Arts & Culture
meet Web3 & NFTs
behind the drums
400 Drums is a series of NFTs derived from one-of-a-kind Indigenous drums, hand crafted by David Fierro of the Okanagan Nation.
They are hand-painted in Acrylic, with the paints designed by color theorist Tamara Goddard, who incorporates phosphorescence into the pigments for stunning effects with black lights. David Fierro creates each design on the face of the drums.
​
The drums are made with special care and Indigenous Protocols to ensure the vibrational medicine works with people to help them attune to higher states. Supporting emotional well-being, connection and fluid thinking.
