Indigenous Engagement

Indigenous engagement refers to the process of collaborating and building respectful relationships between non-Indigenous organizations, governments, or businesses and Indigenous peoples. This involves understanding their cultures, traditions, and rights, and actively involving them in decision-making that affects their lands, resources, and communities. Effective engagement seeks to incorporate Indigenous knowledge and perspectives, ensuring that their voices are heard and respected. Ultimately, it aims to create equitable partnerships that recognize Indigenous sovereignty and contribute to sustainable and culturally sensitive outcomes.
