Waawoono assists Indigenous Nations throughout Turtle Island in achieving their community-building objectives, which include enhanced governance, operational excellence, and economic independence through effective land and resource management systems. Additionally, we serve as a bridge between corporations, government entities, and Indigenous communities to facilitate the process of reconciliation. Our services draw on Waawoono’s comprehensive professional offerings, personal lived experiences, and a vast network that supports over 300 Indigenous communities across Canada.
We honor and respect Aboriginal and Treaty Rights, Indigenous Rights, First Nation laws, Inherent responsibilities, Indigenous cultures, values, and traditions. This ensures our approach is community driven and avoids colonialism with a risk management lens.
The howl of a wolf is a primal call that resonates with deep spiritual significance. It is a symbol of community and unity, as wolves howl to communicate with their pack members. This represents Waawoono’s mission to support the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 94 Calls to Action.
Waawoono views itself as an integrator between First Nations, Corporate Canada and Government as it can support sustainable approaches to finance, economic development and partnership building. The firm also supports the Call to Action #92 for corporations to support the UNDRIP / FPIC framework in its operational policy and the development of reconciliation action plans.
We acknowledge the common vision among Nations and the unique journey that many businesses are on. We are versatile to support projects at different stages of development supporting small and large teams.
With over 25 years of working with over 250 First Nations and proven track working with government agencies, corporate clients, publicly traded companies, crown corporations and private businesses, Waawoono has the qualifications that provides us with a deep understanding of the marketplace.
