About Us
Behind reRoot: Bryce
Bryce is a bridge builder and settler of mixed ancestry with an interdisciplinary background and 8+ years of experience (Indigenous Nations, environmental non-profits, local government, strategic planning), driven to assist settler organizations in realigning with living systems worldviews, supporting Indigenous planning efforts, and enabling genuine collaboration across knowledge systems and communities.
In addition to the need to address ongoing atrocities against Indigenous communities, he is called to this work through a deep spiritual connection to transcend the myth of separation and other problematic perspectives that are causing mental unwellness & suffering. To conduct his work, he draws upon living systems/regenerative thinking, interdisciplinary academic and work experience, continued relationship learning from/with Indigenous communities, and spiritual practice.
Our Mission
Fostering cross-cultural collaboration within regenerative paradigms
Assist non-Indigenous organizations in realigning with spiritual-ecological worldviews life-affirming values
Facilitate collaborative planning between non-Indigenous and Indigenous communities
Our Vision
Envisioning a future where Western regenerative and Indigenous kincentric systems collaborate for healing and thriving communities
Non-Indigenous organizations shift from linear/fragmented/mechanistic thought and develop their own unique approaches to an ecological worldview and regenerative thinking based on their unique gifts (without relying on or burdening Indigenous people) so they can effectively engage in reciprocal collaboration and have a truly value-adding offering to people and the planet
Transformative and mutually beneficial collaboration can occur across knowledge systems and communities in a way that advances Indigenous rights, supports eco-cultural revitalization, honors the uniqueness of all knowledge systems, and develops innovative approaches for the benefit of all

Purpose / Background
Amid global challenges and a complex history, non-Indigenous organizations strive to engage meaningfully with Indigenous communities. Although many of these efforts are well-intentioned, if non-Indigenous organizations’ fundamental paradigms and approaches are not in line with living systems, the time and effort put into engaging and partnering with Indigenous communities will not likely be effective or successful in creating any real changes or innovative approaches.
Collaboration and relationships between non-Indigenous organizations and Indigenous communities need to be centered on reciprocal collaboration of mutual benefit with each contributing and bringing unique viable approaches. Often times non-Indigenous organizations may misappropriate Indigenous knowledges and/or lean on and burden Indigenous professionals with helping to decolonize, transform, and improve their organization’s ideas and approaches. Therefore, as a settler, Bryce developed the previously articulated practice areas and vision.
