Contact our organisation and activities through addresses given below. Indigenous communities worldwide were renowned for their welcomes. When Dutch, English, French Europeans made contact with Turtle Island's north-east, they were greeted sincerely with economic welcome and sustenance by First Nation peoples who were simultaneously being devastated (some estimate a 96% population loss refer to 1491 compilation by Charles C. Mann and Their Number Become Thinned by Henry F. Dobyns) recoiling from Eurasian-african disease epidemics brought overland through First Nation trade routes from the Gulf of Mexico. However First Nations responded pro-actively to economically welcome the diseased and hungry newcomers and put forth the Two-Row-Wampum treaty as a guide to our growth and welbeing. Coming from warring European nations in Feudal society who had lost our indigenous heritage, we had forgotten our own, didn't understand or respond to these 3-dimensional gifts of human and ecological science which would have healed our ecological destruction and war. Welcoming capacity for sustainable development is the main theme of Indigene Community website www.indigenecommunity.info based in economic accounting, governance, multi-home domestic-unity and mixed multi-level orchard food production efficiencies. We hope you will become part of our individual and group initiative to recreate indigenous welcome in the world today.

Individuals and groups involved in Indigene Community are bringing together critical numbers of people in apartment and townhouse complexes where as non-profit Mutual-Aid groups we can collaborate and gain individual and community ownership using indigenous practices.
LaSalle Gardens a 1950s Canadian Federal housing development from the Canadian Mortgage & Housing Corporation CMHC is our conceiving community. LaSalle is refered to on old maps because of its location 'on-the-rapids' as Kahnawake. Some of us refer to LaSalle (a borough of Montreal's urban metropolis) as Kahnawake-north in respect to true indigenous sovereignty and heritage here as part of Tsi Tetsiontitiotiakon (Montreal island), Tiohtiake (archipelago of islands in the greater Montreal region refered to by some as 'Place where the nations and their rivers, unite and divide') and Kanien'keh (Land of the people of the flint, Kanien'kehaka or Mohawk) which stretches as well from Albany, New York to Lake Ontario part of the People of the Longhouse, Rotinosaunee (Haudenosaunee) Confederacy of Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, Onondaga and Seneca nations. Some consider Turtle Island (Onowaragen or North America) as a network of confederacies.
