About us
Fina'denne' started from a shared passion for the culture and its people, language, and history. We focus on partnerships and projects that promote equity and boost social cohesion.
And like many of you, we've been doing this work for a while now. It's in our blood. It's how our Manåmko' (elders) raised us, and it's how we raise our children.
