Namekus is an Indigenous-owned advisory service that helps federal departments and organizations move from commitments to implementation.
With 20+ years in the Government of Canada, we understand how work actually gets done—across policy, communications, privacy, and operations.
We work with teams to design tools, stories, and strategies that people can use, not just approve.
What we help you do
- Turn reconciliation commitments into actionable plans
- Navigate privacy and ethical data use with clarity
- Translate complex policy into plain language
- Design change strategies that people will actually adopt
Services
Namekus provides support across four core areas:
Reconciliation & Indigenous Engagement - Action plans, facilitation, and culturally grounded advisory
Privacy & Ethical Data - Practical guidance on privacy, risk, and responsible data use
Storytelling & Public Education - Podcasts, narrative design, and communication that connects
People-Centred Change - Strategies that support adoption—not just compliance
