At SOFIE we envision a world where the diversity of nature thrives, where indigenous wisdom is heard, honored, and respected, and where people are of service to all life on this planet and beyond. The mission of SOFIE is to be of service for the preservation of indigenous wisdom; to give a voice to the voiceless—the waters, the Earth, the plants, the animals, and the ancestors—in a humble and respectful way. It is our belief that all forms of life—human and nonhuman—deserve respect, and that it is our duty to be of service to this ancient wisdom in a benevolent way.
