Empowering Change Together
We believe economic reconciliation must be grounded in treaty understanding to establish (equitable/ beneficial) relationships between Indigenous and non Indigenous people and the land. To do this Indigenous knowledge must be taken as a guiding approach to identify balanced sustainable solutions and actions so all our relations thrive.
​
The following are our guiding principles.
Grounded in Treaty understanding
Indigenous knowledge as a guiding approach
Two-eyed seeing:
One eye with the strengths of Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing, and from the other eye with the strengths of western knowledge and ways of knowing
