About this Toolkit & Resources
This Indigenous Engagement Toolkit and accompanying Resources were created by Qwuy'um'aat (Eyvette) Elliott to support respectful, relational and community-aligned approaches.
These resources are grounded in cultural protocol, lived experience and many years of practice in Indigenous planning, housing and engagement. They are intended to support both Indigenous and non-Indigenous professionals, governments, nonprofits and facilitators who are working and walking alongside community
