We often hear terms like "indigenize" philanthropy, being in "right relationship", and moving beyond people alone in our design work. We want to dive into this topic and questions like, What and how can we respectfully honor the power and prosperity that lie within ancestral and indigenous ways of knowing and living? - Who and what defines what it means to "indigenize" our work in social impact? - In a white-dominant sector, what are the dangers of tokenism, cooptation, theft, and harm?

We were joined by two amazing guests to dive into these topics.

Maryam Mohiuddin Ahmed, Senior Fellow, Social Innovation Canada

Dr. Anita Sanchez, Author of The Four Sacred Gifts: Indigenous Wisdom for Modern Times
