WELCOME
Indigenous Nations across Turtle Island are taking the future powerfully into their own hands. The opportunities for economic advancement are abundant. At the same time, it’s never been more important to protect the lands and waters that sustain us all. In the face of climate change and the cumulative effects of development, seeking to balance it all is no easy task.

As new major project processes take shape across Canada, Indigenous Nations have important decisions to make about how and when to participate.
Join us November 18th 1-3pm EST to explore practical ways your Nation can navigate these processes strategically, protect your rights, interests, and territories, and pursue stronger outcomes that advance the prosperity and well-being of your community and citizens.

CELEBRATING NATIONAL INDIGENOUS HISTORY MONTH
JUNE 2026
This past year, our team was honoured to work alongside Doig River First Nation to help tell the story of K’ih tsaaʔdze Tribal Park—its deep spiritual and cultural significance, and the importance of protecting it. The video we created explores the significance of this land and how it continues to hold meaning for community members despite both historical and ongoing pressures from industry and external interests. Centered on a sacred site, it speaks to the community’s desire to heal and restore the land, alongside their commitment to reclaiming stewardship and jurisdiction for future generations.
In celebration of National Indigenous History Month, we are proud to share this work as an example of a community coming together to protect what matters most—guided by and grounded in their values.
