The Indigenous Resource Network is:
-
About having a positive and non-partisan message
- Respect for ourselves and for others
- Focus on the stories and journeys of average workers, business owners and community members
- Independence in our messaging
- A safe space for Indigenous people to share their own stories
- Honour differences between cultures, traditions, and protocols
- Open and transparent
- Avoid polarization and focus on balanced perspectives and solutions for moving forward
- Provide credible information
- Celebrate mutually beneficial partnerships between Indigenous communities and industry
- Advocacy for fair and appropriate inclusion of Indigenous peoples in the resource projects that take place on our territories, including as workers, contractors, partners and equity owners
- Advocacy for better and more responsible ways to get the materials that we need for transportation, shelter, food, health care, communications, and recreation.
Our Mandate
To provide a platform for Indigenous voices that are supportive of Indigenous participation in resource development.
