Creating a Nurturing Space for Minority Youths’ Mental Health and Wellness through Indigenous Wisdom.

“Let’s light the Qulliq lamp!”

PTERYX's message of “Let’s light the qulliq lamp!” embodies a commitment to a brighter future through Indigenous wisdom. The qulliq, a traditional oil lamp, represents warmth, community, and resilience. By embracing this symbol, PTERYX seeks to integrate Indigenous perspectives into healing and wellness initiatives, fostering inclusivity and uplifting diverse voices. Together, we can create a more supportive environment for all communities to thrive.
