Welcome to the Digital Toolkit!
Soaring Together is a place designed to help First Nation youth make good choices and find useful resources to guide the journey through life. It’s rooted in Thunderbird’s Indigenous Wellness Framework that comes from Indigenous Knowledge and ways of being. This website is a journey through Hope, Belonging, Meaning, and Purpose. The journey starts here!
