ABOUT KWAST-en-ayu (or Maynard)
L. Maynard Harry is a member of the Tla'amin Nation (TN) of the Coast Salish culture and located on the west coast of Canada. Maynard was bestowed with his ancestral name KWAST-en-ayu on May 10, 2003 by Tla'amin’s Elders immediately before his nation signed the Sliammon First Nation - Corporation District of Powell River 'Community Accord'.
Please be forewarned KWAST-enayu's approach to providing Indigenous cultural awareness training does not prioritize political correctness. A consistent priority will always be honesty, respect, clarity. The unique First Nation perspective offered by Indigenous Insight in the areas of Aboriginal rights & title, Canada's colonization history, reconciliation and leadership are what separates this training program from many others.
For non-Indigenous peoples to be successful in this program, critical thinking and evolution of thought are required. Maynard's respect and teachings have been sharpened from 30+ years of direct exposure to decision-making under Canada's Indian Act, actually living on a Indian Reserve and being of a family directly impacted by Canada's Indian Residential School System.
Maynard’s has worked in the Indigenous economic/business development space for many years, in multiple capacities and truly understands the massive distinctions between Indian Reserve economies when compared to those within cities, towns, municipalities and provinces. His in-depth knowledge of the history and culture of Aboriginal peoples, their traditional land and resource practices and archaeological footprint comes from years of working closely with traditional land and resource use experts and Elders.
Maynard is a guest presenter at Ch'nook Indigenous Business Education (UBC's Sauder School of Business) and participates on UBC's Indigenous Procurement Committee.
