Ashukan Institute

A company proud of its affiliation with the First Nations, which builds bridges within its team

L’empreinte de l’ours n’est pas qu’un simple symbole. C’est un mouvement qui permet d’affirmer notre identité. C’est également une protection, un moyen de s’afficher et d’être reconnus, avec la plus grande des fiertés. Pour les non-autochtones, cela va faciliter les gestes simples et concrets pour participer quotidiennement à la démarche de réconciliation.

In embracing the Bear and its symbolism, the Ashukan Institute aims to:
Assert our pride in our identity and our mission: to promote the richness of our cultures, pass on our history from an Indigenous perspective, and raise awareness of the realities and issues affecting Indigenous peoples, in order to contribute to building bridges between nations.
Celebrating our kinship and expressing our solidarity with all Indigenous entrepreneurs who proudly embrace their roots while contributing to the economic development of First Nations.

TESTIMONIALS

I just completed the online training offered by Ashukan. I am still so impressed and grateful for all this learning. I highly recommend everyone to take this series of workshops, whether for professional or personal reasons.

Kuei M. Bacon,This course is mandatory in my university curriculum, yet you have inspired me to learn more about the realities of the First Nations through your extensive knowledge. The introduction you provided us through the Ashukan platform and the various meetings during the session have made me question what the forestry industry can really do for the different nations across Quebec and Canada. I hope to hear more in detail someday the many stories you mentioned that allow us to see the world from a different perspective.

Rosa Désy

The course, as a whole, is excellent. What I am learning should be part of the basic knowledge of all inhabitants of North America. It leads me to a deep reflection on who I am and who we are as colonizers, and on what we could have been if our actions towards the First Nations had been marked by kindness, wisdom, and a desire to know the other, rather than fear, ignorance, and malice. I continue to reflect. We are dealing with essential knowledge that can only help those who listen with an open mind to grow.

Miche Letartre

A very comprehensive module that provides excellent tools and highly relevant knowledge on governance systems and organizations with which we are likely to collaborate in establishing partnerships. Thank you!

Amélie Denoncourt

I really enjoyed this module; it made me want to learn more. I believe these stories are still a great treasure and should be part of our values and oral traditions for current and future generations. We inhabit the earth, but it does not belong to us; we must protect it!
