ICLD provides support to organizations that are seeking to develop culturally appropriate internal policies and to foster strong reciprocal partnerships with Indigenous people and communities. With the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) by both Canada and British Columbia and the issue of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action, organizations may be wondering where the starting point is. The Actioning Reconciliation program provides expert guidance in actioning the relevant legislation and policies related to Indigenous people and communities.
ICLD Corporate Services will offer professional and lived experience in the Indigenous worldview and work with your organization to better understand the Indigenous Experience. We then will guide your organization through our Five (5) Step process to develop internal policies and enhance relations built on reconciliation. Please contact us for a discovery meeting on how we can meet your organization’s needs.
ICLD’s Five (5) Step Process:
- Where have we been? The history of working with Indigenous people
- Where are we today? What actions have you taken so far in working with Indigenous people
- Where do we want to go? Reconciliation action plans. Identify gaps. Operationalizing Action Plans
- How do we get there? Identifying strategies, goals, and timelines
- How do we know we have arrived there? Reporting process with all partners
