Are you caught in the delicate balancing act of protecting your Nation’s Rights in the face of development, while furthering the prosperity of your people?
If you work in your Nation’s lands, resources, or consultation departments, or hold these portfolios on Council, you likely know all too well what it feels like to be drowning in consultation emails! The sheer volume of incoming consultation and engagement requests makes it hard to take time for clear decision-making about priorities.
We cover the main topics crucial to your success:
Over the past decade, we have had the privilege of working with the talented, dedicated, and visionary lands and consultation staff in First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities and organizations across Turtle Island. As always, this eBook rests on the experiences and successes of the departments that we have helped to build and those we have worked alongside. We hope you find inspiration in their stories and find new ideas to add to your own plans.
