Our Mission
PKOLS is an Indigenous-led nonprofit committed to restoring and protecting the ecological and cultural landscapes of the San Juan Islands. Grounded in W̱SÁNEĆ and Coast Salish knowledge systems, our mission is to revitalize Indigenous language, place names, and stewardship practices while strengthening relationships to land and sea.
Through collaboration with Tribal Nations, local communities, and conservation partners, PKOLS advances habitat restoration, cultural education, and land and marine stewardship. We work to ensure a sustainable future by reconnecting people to place and upholding the original laws and responsibilities that have guided these islands since time immemorial.
