Budgeting and Financial Literacy
Financial wellness is more than numbers. It’s about balance, respect, and community. Many Indigenous teachings emphasize living in harmony and planning for the next generations. Budgeting through this lens means aligning spending with values: caring for family, supporting community, and protecting the land.
Financial literacy has become a tool for empowerment, helping families make choices that honor traditions while navigating modern systems. We’ll learn all about financial terms, realistic budgeting, borrowing money, interest and debt. Join us for dinner, dessert and discussion! Child minding is not available for this program, but dinner will be provided.
