Authentic Indigenous Education That Transforms Understanding
Your Team Doesn't Understand. We Change That.
Most organizations check the Truth & Reconciliation box. They watch a video. They feel good for a day. Then nothing changes. We're different. When your team sits across from a residential school survivor—hears their voice, feels their presence, witnesses their resilience—something shifts. When powwow dancers move across the stage with pride and power, when the drums hit and the singing fills the room, people get it. Not intellectually. Viscerally.
That's when real learning happens. That's when your organization actually transforms.
The people who lived it. Who can answer the hard questions. Who can guide your team from guilt to genuine understanding to action.
The heartbeat of Indigenous resilience. Not a performance—a teaching. A reminder of what survived. What thrives. Our powwow dancing performances bring cultural pride and authentic storytelling into your space.
We don't leave your team confused or overwhelmed. We facilitate conversations, answer questions, and create space for real dialogue. Our keynotes and speaking engagements are designed to move people from awareness to action.
1-2 hour presentations. Full-day learning. Weekend retreats. Multi-day immersive programs. Whatever your organization needs to actually get it.

Reading about residential schools is important. Hearing from survivors is transformative.
Our Truth & Reconciliation presentations center the voices of those who lived through Canada's darkest chapter—and those still healing from its impacts today. These aren't academic lectures. They're deeply personal stories of:
