A clear client.
A defined purpose.

For Indigenous Nations.

Your Nation sets the purpose, authorizes participants and decides how to use the result. We support your programs, decisions and priorities.

• Establish a monitoring program.
• Prepare for a decision or funding application.
• Carry commitments, training and project work forward.

We do not take over the Nation’s authority or replace its staff and advisers.

For project proponents.

We can take on agreed coordination, evidence preparation, reporting and project handovers for your organization’s own work.

• Turn commitments into assignments and coordinate follow-up.
• Keep the record of commitments and progress current.
• Prepare the briefs and questions needed for the next discussion.

A proponent engagement does not authorize us to speak for a Nation or imply its support.

Funding and direction are different.

A proponent funding Nation-directed work is not the same as a proponent commissioning work for itself. The engagement must identify the client, who directs the work and who may use the information.

Participation in Nation-directed work requires the Nation’s authorization. Access to a document does not itself authorize its use for another purpose.

Confirm fit before records move.

We discuss the assignment, existing responsibilities and any connected engagements before accepting work. The scope defines participants, information use and delivery.
