Indigenous Leadership

Diverse & Evolving

All of these diverse aspects of my indigenous leadership approach are connected to and influence my stance, style and outlook.  By picturing these artifacts on top of the personal crest of my button blanket, I have built a metaphoric picture of who I am and how I lead.
Indigenous peoples, communities and leaders are diverse and evolving.  There are a myriad of indigeneous cultures, ways and traditions across this land and many families and communities have developed their own unique expressions of languages, celebrations and practices.  The complex tapestry that is our leadership approach cannot be reduced to a singularly comprehensible form.  

Indigenous peoples can and do evolve. Expectations that our cultures cannot grow and progress are  unfortunate.  We can and do add new approaches, that work for us, to our ways of living, leading and being.  When these steps are in harmony with our core values and traditions, they enhance who we are.  Further, the non-indigenous world needs our wisdom.  Through teaching and sharing our ways with the colonizers, we can protect ourselves, mother earth and non-indigenenous people.  The world and our communities can only  benefit from the addition of an indigeneous leadership approach.
