We are in an age of Indigenous empowerment and reconciliation. Despite this, the general population, corporations, government entities, and institutions of learning, still do not have a strong enough grasp on Indigenous peoples, our history, and the challenges we face. As Indigenous peoples continue to take their rightful places in all major institutions, it is imperative that these institutions gain a comprehensive understanding of all Indigenous peoples. Additionally, non-Indigenous people are quite hesitant to ask questions in fear of saying something culturally insensitive.
With our innovative digital programming, we are providing major western institutions with a comprehensive, inclusive, and effective education amongst all three Indigenous groups in Canada (First Nations, Inuit, and Metis). Not only is educating your organization on Indigenous peoples a step towards reconciliation, it is a step that will elevate your organization to new levels of efficiency, inclusivity, and effectiveness. An organization that possesses a strong understanding of Indigenous peoples, is inevitably a more attractive organization for Indigenous people to be a part of, and an organization that is more fit to do business and collaborate with Indigenous Nations and Businesses.
Organizations can choose from one of our existing courses to educate their staff, or can collaborate with L'ikol to custom develop a course that is specifically suited to the Indigenous peoples in the organization's region.
In-Person Indigenous Awareness Training
At L’ikol: Indigenous Training and Engagement, we believe the most meaningful learning happens face-to-face. Our In-Person Indigenous Awareness Training provides government departments, agencies, companies, and institutions with engaging, impactful sessions designed to deepen understanding, strengthen relationships, and advance reconciliation.
These sessions are led by our Founder, Grant Anderson, a respected Red River Métis elder, historian, and author. Grant brings a wealth of leadership and cultural expertise, having served as Director of the Red River Métis Nation Heritage Center and Director of the Louis Riel Institute, as well as contributing his knowledge on multiple Indigenous advisory councils, including those of the Canadian Museums Association, the Canadian War Museum, and the Canadian Museum of History.
Grant is also the author of the widely recognized Métis Illustrated History Series, a curriculum series used in classrooms across Western Canada to tell the story of the Métis Nation. His teachings blend lived experience, historical scholarship, and cultural storytelling, offering participants an authentic and powerful perspective.
Currently, Grant delivers Métis Awareness Training, helping participants understand the unique history, culture, and contemporary realities of the Red River Métis Nation. His sessions are interactive and relational, encouraging dialogue while equipping teams with practical knowledge to respectfully engage Indigenous communities.
Whether your organization is seeking to begin its journey of learning or to deepen existing commitments, our in-person training ensures an impactful, personalized experience that supports meaningful reconciliation in action.
