TO BETTER UNDERSTAND INDIGENOUS REALITIES

Ashukan is a universal term in Algonquian languages to express the notion of a “bridge” between two shores. It’s these new bridges that Ashukan aims to build, strengthening organizations’ work teams and alliance networks.

In the recent years, issues raised by Indigenous Peoples have made their way to the forefront of the social landscape. It is often challenging to picture them clearly, because they are surprisingly complex and few training resources are available and accessible. In any case, many concerned parties recognize the systemic aspects of the challenges faced by Indigenous Peoples.

To better understand the root causes of some of these problems in Canada, and to explore tangible solutions, the training courses created by Ashukan take a deeper dive into recent history, and outline some of the key thinking that goes into working with Indigenous Peoples.

It would take more than a single lifetime to understand everything about Indigenous issues! However, our training courses offer a full overview, with the aim of being as useful as possible to you, whether as a citizen, a worker or a manager.

Thank you for placing your trust in us,
