An opportunity for companies committed to inclusion and the recognition of
Indigenous talent
Many organizations want to hire Indigenous talent and strengthen their relationships with Indigenous communities, but they may face several challenges:
◆ How can we ensure that our recruitment process truly reflects and respects the values, traditions, and ways of working of First Nations communities?
◆ What specific barriers do Indigenous talent face in our recruitment process, and how can we remove them to create more accessible opportunities?
◆ What tools and resources should we provide our recruitment team to better understand and connect with talent from First Nations communities?
◆ How can we design our job postings, interview process, and onboarding to better align with the values and expectations of Indigenous talent?
L’ETUAPTMUMK : THE TWO-EYED SEEING VISION
A Foundational Approach: NISHINA is rooted in a fundamental Indigenous principle: Etuaptmumk, also known as Two-Eyed Seeing. Developed and shared by Albert Marshall, a respected Mi’kmaq Elder, this principle invites us to recognize and draw upon simultaneously:
◆ The strength of Indigenous knowledge and ways of doing, deeply relational and grounded in the living world;
◆ The strength of Western knowledge and practices, which bring structure, systems, and levers for action.
Two-Eyed Seeing does not seek to merge these perspectives or privilege
one over the other.
Rather, it encourages intentional and respectful dialogue between
them, in order to make better decisions and build practices that are
more just, more human, and more sustainable.
