Welcome to Indigenous Connect!

Where the past meets the future…where all professionals can transform and thrive in decolonized spaces

Led by Métis legal scholar Andrea Menard, LLB, LLM, from the Otipemisiwak Métis Government who works on unceded Treaty 6 lands in amiskwacîwâskahikan (Edmonton, AB, Canada), the traditional homeland of the Cree, Blackfoot, Nakota Sioux, Haudenosaunee, and Métis Nation peoples as well as the Anishnaabe, Inuit, and other individuals from other nations who have come to this land.

Indigenous Connect is dedicated to researching and supporting ways to interweave Indigenous laws into settler colonial workplace policies and processes across the world.

By invoking Social Dominance Theory and embracing Legal Pluralism, Menard aims to transcend divides and decolonize the workplace environment so that is just, inclusive, and affirming of Indigenous Peoples’ inherent legal traditions and ways of life not just for Indigenous professionals, but for everyone in the workplace.
