The Vision
7 Generations’ (7G) vision for Indian Country is realized by enhancing each Tribe’s sovereignty, independence, resilience, prosperity, for local food, energy, housing, health and wellness, and economic development.
As stewards of the land, we embrace regenerative agriculture and regenerative development. We actively support healthy living soil, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. We seek to reduce poverty through equitable local economic growth. We promote diversity, inclusiveness, fairness and collaboration towards opportunities for all people. The outcome is an influx of capital, jobs, land stewardship that becomes a boon for Indian Country, and a sustainable regenerative model for the world.
The five “Ps” align with our partners, supply chains, investors, clients, and their communities. There is a symbiotic health relationship between:
People—healthy people
Place—healthy local community
Plants—healthy plants mean healthy Products
Planet—stewardship of a living planet, so we can do much more than just survive
Profit—healthy jobs lead to a healthy economy and healthy communities
7Gen Business Model
7 Generations' name
What is the story about our name?
The name “7 Generations” honors the ancient Great Law of the Iroquois (7th Generation), where all decisions carefully consider the past, present and future with respect to our ancestors, ourselves, and those yet to come. Each generation is responsible to learn, to teach, and to protect the three-generations that have come before us, our own generation, and seven generations into the future (a generation is roughly 25-years).
7 Generations LLC is organized as a Native owned holding company, with five wholly owned subsidiaries, for five industry verticals that include, water, health, agriculture, real estate, and energy “WHARE”. Whare is the word for a traditional longhouse structure for the Māori, the indigenous Polynesian people of mainland New Zealand.
7G embraces Etuaptmumk, or two-eyed seeing, which is a Mi’kmaq First Nations principle that calls for seeing from one eye with the strength of Indigenous stewardship, knowledge, and ways of knowing, and from the other eye with the strength of Western tools and systems. Bringing both perspectives together to create thoughtful, and more profitable solutions and results. Incorporating Indigenous values and traditional knowledge in our Projects will lead to greater more sustainable, and more profitable outcomes.
7G supports emerging young Indigenous leaders and entrepreneurs who are critical generators of the innovative thinking needed to fuel the 21st Century transition to more just, regenerative, and equitable impacts. Indigenous peoples are the sustainable workforce that will include valuable jobs in skilled trades, advanced technologies, business ventures and more.
