Relationship Building & Reconciliation

Relationships are everything to my people. Relationships to the land, water, air, animals and to our two-legged friends guide so much of how we live and honour each day and everything we do.

My people have always extended a friendly and supportive hand to non-Indigenous people. Non-Indigenous people were welcomed off the boats and joined us in feasts hundreds of years ago. Our warriors fought alongside soldiers to defend the land. Our ancestors negotiated and signed treaties in friendship because of the great respect they held for non-Indigenous leaders. 

Although those commitments have not been completely honoured by the Queen or the federal government, it remains the way my people interact.

Righting the wrongs of dishonoured commitments

There are many mutual benefits to righting the wrongs of dishonoured commitments. Indigenous people are open to having those discussions with good-intentioned allies. Indigenous people are the youngest and fastest-growing population in Canada. Unfortunately, we are also the most under-represented population in terms of graduates, entrepreneurs, and landowners. By supporting the advancement of Indigenous people relationship building, Canada could benefit from a $100 billion increase in the economy.

It all starts with relationship building.

My work focuses on bridging relationships between local Indigenous communities and organizations with your organization or government. I connect you with the right people. Together, we start the process of getting to know each other. From there, I guide you through establishing a mutually aligned reconciliation plan forward.

Change moves at the speed of trust. Trust is created through meaningful relationships. Contact me to book a consultation.
