Indigenous Engagement Online Training App
Indigenous cultural awareness training will not strengthen your business's work culture.
Most asked questions by non-Indigenous Canadians includes:
- Why do Indigenous people receive so much federal, provincial government attention and consideration?
- Why does reconciliation mean in Canada? and why does it move so slowly?
- why are there so many Indigenous relations and reconciliation departments, ministries, agencies, and commissions in every province?
- Why are the following terms so confusing: Indigenous, native, Aboriginal, First Nation, status Indian, Métis and Inuit?
This online Indigenous Engagement Training Program is ideal for:
- Non-Indigenous managers, directors, coordinators, and business development professionals seeking to strengthen their Indigenous engagement knowledge.
- Members of Indigenous relations committees committed to moving beyond symbolic reconciliation.
- Corporate, organizational, and government leaders looking to build a stronger Indigenous awareness culture.
- Non-Indigenous professionals working within First Nation band administrations.
- First Nation individuals wanting to deepen their understanding of Canada's colonial and assimilation history.
- Inuit and Métis individuals interested in learning more about First Nation history, rights, and perspectives.
Indigenous Insight's new Indigenous Engagement Training Program delivers practical answers to today's most important Indigenous engagement questions while providing ongoing mentorship to strengthen workplace culture and leadership.
Developed from an authentic First Nation perspective, this training is grounded in lived experience by a Status First Nation man who has spent his entire life on an Indian reserve, comes from a family directly impacted by Canada's Indian Residential School System, and has served in elected leadership under Canada's Indian Act.
This training program includes the 'Colonizer Rehab' Seminar Series as an enhanced learning component, providing a safe space for honest dialogue, continuous learning, and practical guidance that supports meaningful Indigenous engagement.

TRIGGER WARNING ...
Indigenous Engagement content developed by Indigenous Insight is not for the faint of heart. Much of the dialogue traces back to 2017, when the Advanced Business Match “Uncensored” model was first being developed.
Maynard collaborated with the ABM team during the creation of this initiative. At the time, it became clear that an uncensored forum was urgently needed to address difficult issues such as the Colten Boushie murder in Saskatchewan, the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), and many other sensitive Indigenous topics affecting Indigenous communities.
For many participants, particularly settler Canadians, engaging with this material can be challenging and emotionally confronting. That discomfort is intentional and necessary. Meaningful understanding in the Indigenous engagement space rarely grows in comfort. It emerges through honest examination, critical thinking, and a willingness to sit with difficult truths. The content presented here does not rely on opinion but instead prioritizes factual representation and lived realities.
This material is not directed at any specific individual in Canada. Rather, it offers direct and candid insights intended for leadership audiences, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. The purpose of this program is not to tell people what they might prefer to hear, but to focus on what must be understood in order to grow. These truths are not meant to burden the listener. They are meant to expand perspective and spark meaningful reflection.
