It is our mission in the Working Together- Wiijinokiiwag program to create and empower change, awareness and space for all peoples to shine on their path of humanness! In light of all the truths that are coming to the worlds attention, we need to ensure that Indigenous voices are heard! Not only around our peoples stories, losses, learnings and celebrations… but to ensure that the hard work of our ancestors is carried forward in that “good way” for all to embrace!
It was expressed inside of our Working Together- Wiijinokiiwag Program that collaborations of unity & strength are desired… it was identified, that there is a gap on how we get there as many are afraid to further deepen the pain being felt. “Fear is a silent partner” that holds us bound to the history of the past we are longing to change! On both sides of this discovery we wrestle with the next steps forward… at Working Together- Wiijinokiiwag we say” take the step”, then do it again, and together, we will get to the place were looking for exactly how creator intended, as one!
For all of these reasons, we give you Voices of Change… filled with magical wisdom, strength, courage, pain and celebrations… we promise their will be teachings for all to explore. What will be left on the community table is “what will you do” with the information you seek?
Inside this very special series we will have many conversations around all of the topics of life. We will showcase the courage, resilience and glory of our Indigenous brothers and sisters and we will invite all peoples to lean in and rise with us all as we create a world together that fits us all in equality, safety, celebration and strength!
This will be an 8- Part Speaker Series found exclusively on social media and it all kicks off on Jan 27th- 2022!
8 Different Speakers
8 Different Views
8 Different Stories
8 Different Opportunities
One goal… Connection!

Working Together- Wiijinokiiwag Presents- Diversity- A Different View of Collaboration
2022-04-21 13:30 - 15:30 | Zoom
During our initial Pilot Program Launch it was expressed to us that more information was needed around the ways that we could fully embrace & blend the best of both the Western & Indigenous lenses of knowledge to enhance our ability of understanding & growth. This 2-hour extension program builds on the topic of Diversity- A Different View of Collaboration digs deeper into the diversity of the workplace, community, and world. We recap the importance of seeing through all lens of “humanness”, while brainstorming concrete ways to create and initiate changes that not only support & empower Indigenous Peoples but all Peoples to safely show-up in ways that truly impact a generational change for us all to live by!
The program is open our Mainstream Community and will allow you the opportunity to explore what the Working Together- Wiijinokiiwag Program has to offer. As a participant you can expect to dig deeper into this concept of living, learning and connecting so that you can further build your toolbox of Cultural Safety Practices in growing your relationships with the Indigenous Peoples you are connecting with in your daily life and professional/organizational practice.
