Programs Designed for Transformation

A full-day experiential journey facilitated by knowledge keepers from local Nations. This isn't a lecture—it's an invitation into ways of knowing that predate written language.

Participants engage with storytelling traditions, observe and sometimes participate in traditional craft demonstrations (always with proper protocols), and learn about the significance of ceremonies while respecting boundaries around sacred knowledge.

Ideal for: Educators, community groups, organizational teams seeking foundational understanding.

Includes: Elder-led sessions, traditional food sharing, take-home resources, post-workshop reflection guide.

Designed for institutions ready to move beyond tokenistic Indigenous content toward substantive curriculum transformation. We review existing materials, identify gaps and misrepresentations, and work with you to develop authentic educational approaches.

This process typically involves examining how Indigenous histories are framed—are they positioned as past events or ongoing realities? Are diverse Nations represented, or does content homogenize hundreds of distinct cultures? Where are Indigenous voices centered versus discussed as subjects?

Ideal for: Schools, museums, cultural organizations, curriculum developers.

Includes: Content audit, customized curriculum framework, cultural competency training for staff, implementation support.

Land acknowledgments have become ubiquitous—and often meaningless. Reading a script about "traditional territories" while changing nothing else is performative, not transformative.

This program teaches how to research the specific Nations whose territories you occupy, understand treaty relationships, and most importantly, connect acknowledgment to action. What does it mean to acknowledge land while benefiting from its ongoing occupation?

Ideal for: Organizations, event planners, institutions seeking authentic practice.

Includes: Territory research support, acknowledgment framework development, delivery coaching, action planning workshop.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued 94 Calls to Action. Most organizations don't know which ones apply to them, let alone how to implement meaningful responses.

This three-month strategic engagement helps organizations move from intention to implementation. We assess current state, identify relevant Calls to Action, develop measurable goals, and create accountability structures.

This isn't about checking boxes—it's about institutional transformation. Procurement policies. Hiring practices. Relationship-building with local Nations. Community investment. The work that actually shifts power.

Ideal for: Corporations, government agencies, large institutions committed to systemic change.

Includes: Organizational assessment, customized action plan, staff training, quarterly implementation check-ins.

Knowledge can't be rushed. This six-session program unfolds across months, allowing time for reflection and integration between sessions.

Topics include medicine teachings (with appropriate boundaries around sacred knowledge), understanding seasonal cycles and their cultural significance, traditional governance systems and their contemporary applications, and how ancestral wisdom addresses modern challenges like environmental sustainability.

Each session is facilitated by knowledge keepers from the Nation whose teachings are being shared. This ensures authenticity and provides opportunity for participants to build genuine relationships with Indigenous educators.

Ideal for: Individuals or small groups seeking deep, ongoing learning.

Includes: Six monthly sessions, supplementary readings, access to recorded teachings (where permitted), completion certificate.

Young people deserve better than the whitewashed histories many of us received. This age-appropriate program for grades 4-12 creates space for students to ask hard questions and grapple with complex truths.

We use storytelling, interactive activities, and facilitated discussions to help students understand Indigenous histories and contemporary realities. The focus isn't on guilt—it's on building empathy, recognizing injustice, and understanding their role in creating change.

Ideal for: Schools, youth groups, educational summer programs.

Includes: Half-day interactive session, teacher resource package, student reflection activities, parent communication materials.
