Indigenous Relations

Moving Toward Truth & Reconciliation

This section of the website is LONG overdue. Understanding and building successful Indigenous relationships with local and regional communities is an absolute necessity in today's resource sector, and as a moral imperative. And the reforestation industry needs more participation from Indigenous employees. However, even though I've been trying to understand Indigenous culture for decades, I have a lot to learn. Expect that it will be at least early 2025 before I'm fully comfortable sharing much broader information that I write myself.
