‘The Sacred Gift’
Indigenous Cultural Safety and Anti-Racism Program
Indigenous Cultural Competency & Safety Program
Unite Your Learning with Living
“The Sacred Gift” is a socially conscious program rooted in a deep understanding of Indigenous epistemology and communication. The gift we offer is a strong foundation of Indigenous knowledge developed by a gathering of culturally responsible, grassroots individuals. This program will give you an opportunity to choose a path that leads to the awareness and competency you need, in order to safely, respectfully and confidently engage with members of Indigenous communities.
Learning and Empowerment
From a Place of Authenticity & Compassion
“The Sacred Gift” is for participants who are willing to learn. We accept you at any stage of your development; the only requirement is an open mind. This is an opportunity for you to participate in an experience that is transformative and interactive. We will help you address the areas of learning that you may find uncomfortable; and we will work to empower you to move beyond any potential barriers. Together we will strive to make a positive change, and move forward to capacity and relationship building. In this spirit, we offer you a safe place to learn how to appreciate, value and respect the sharing of Indigenous Knowledge, and the diversity of Indigenous Communities.
"I really took away a lot from this program and am inspired by the explanations on the Indigenous way of life. I was worried about saying something that would offend but the openness, love and support that was displayed was beautiful and touching. My worries melted away and I was able to be present."

A Path Towards Change
The Opportunity to Walk Away Transformed
After you develop a foundational understanding of Universal Indigenous ways of knowing and being, you will be better prepared to engage with Indigenous peoples respectfully and with more confidence. This understanding will also give you the opportunity to choose a path that leads to transformation. Those who have committed to this experience report that their discoveries have had a ripple effect, which has improved relationships in the workplace, in public and at home. Kanó:ron Koniá:wi: “The Sacred Gift” allows you to “see” things that you did not see before, while taking part in a socially conscious initiative that is committed to language revitalization, dedicated to creating jobs, and inclusive of people with different abilities.
"I valued the experience and I know this was just the tip of the iceberg and I have so much more to learn in the future. I did feel it was a warm, welcome and open opportunity for me to ask questions and gain knowledge to start my journey in cultural competency training. I would highly recommend your services to other providers and groups. Thank you"
