DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
All new community design and construction in our Nations can utilize traditional, regenerative, and climate adaptive architectural principles that are expressive of our values, ways of living, and the needs of our families. The way communities and buildings are designed has a strong impact on how we feel, and how we move through the world. The manner in which our communities and buildings are created both represents and facilitates our relationships with our lands and with each other, and renewing this meaning into how we build can inform both how ecologically caring our buildings are, and how we feel about our communities and ourselves.
