We’re a group of colleagues with well over 100 years of combined experience working in the field of Indigenous Relations. We've come together to share our perspectives, knowledge, stories, and experiences with Canadians who want to take action toward reconciliation.
We’re inviting you to join us in our free Perspectives series as we explore some common questions we’ve heard from Canadians seeking to understand more about Indigenous interests and reconciliation.
Check out our videos below and contact us to arrange a custom workshop for your group today.
In this session, Steve Francis & Annie Korver discuss the concept of Indigenous Ways of Knowing, Teneya Gwin & Art Cunningham review terminology related to Indigenous Peoples in Canada and share their own views on the words we use, and Anne Harding offers a glimpse into a more complete version of Canadian history.
If you enjoy this video (8 minute intro + 20 minute video), we hope you'll invite us to join you on your reconciliation learning journey.
Please get in touch to learn more.

By developing and strengthening relationships across Indigenous communities, sectors, and interests, we can learn from each other and do more for our world and our future. Through Anne’s work, in Indigenous Relations she is connected to a number of different people and communities.
We invite you to visit their websites to learn more about the work they do, and please feel free to reach out to Anne if you’re looking to connect.
