(Working together)
Len Pierre Consulting (LPC) is committed to building strong relationships aligned with our core Indigenous values of respect, relatedness and reciprocity. To ensure this happens in a good way, LPC has a partnership framework called Cɬhi:ya:y̓əstəl.
Cɬhi:ya:yÌ“É™stÉ™l (pronounced chee-ya-ya-stel) belongs to the traditional Coast Salish language hunqiminumand translates to “working together”.
Goals of cɬhi:ya:y̓əstəl
Allow LPC to be intentional about the partnerships we build, ensuring they are aligned with our values and the world we hope to build.
Outline potential partnership opportunities, so we do not miss opportunities to work with others.
Provide a structure that allows relationships to grow in ways that are clearly outlined, and that feel safe for LPC and our partners.
Work in a way that emphasizes our values of respect, reciprocity and relatedness.
Our commitment:
Honouring our core value of respect, we will engage with colonial systems in ways that allow our relationships to grow safely. We will also find ways to challenge those structures by carrying our values into the way we engage with them.
Working
Together
In the spirit of cɬhi: ya:yÌ“É™stÉ™l, we see partnerships as opportunities to work collaboratively with organizations who share our values and goals. Our partnerships are ongoing and intentional relationships built gradually over time. We develop trust and learn more about how we can support each other’s work as we walk together in partnership.
