- 2. Impact
- 3. Options
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.

Many museums are aware of this and wish to have these artifacts repatriated, though they have no conception of how to achieve this.
