Indigenous Consultation & Decolonial Strategy
The One Dish Project provides Indigenous-led consultation rooted in governance, lived experience, and land-based responsibility. Our approach is guided by wampum-based methodology and designed to support meaningful, long-term change.
We work with schools, boards, unions, municipalities, and community organizations that are ready to move beyond surface-level efforts. This is not about optics. It is about building accountable systems that reflect Indigenous knowledge, law, and responsibility.
Rates and Availability
All consultation and workshop rates are determined based on scope, duration, and organizational structure.
We prioritize community-led and land-based work.
To inquire about rates, availability, or to request a proposal, please contact us directly.
Important Notice
The One Dish Project operates independently and is guided by Indigenous law, not colonial institutional standards. We reserve the right to decline consultation requests that are performative, extractive, or not aligned with the values of accountability, responsibility, and community-led change.
Workshops and services are not intended for settler-facing public relations or token inclusion. This is not cultural entertainment. This is governance-based work.
Engagement must begin with clarity and respect. If your organization is not prepared to take meaningful action or centre Indigenous direction, this may not be the right fit.
