Supporting our partners around the world

Since 1974 Onaway has been supporting indigenous groups to defend their lives and preserve their knowledge. We invest in small, appropriate projects that make a positive difference to the world’s few remaining Indigenous peoples who are exemplars of how the Earth’s resources, sustainability, and cultural diversity can be maintained.
