Turn complex mandates into practical work

Namekus is an Indigenous-owned and operated advisory practice that helps federal departments, nonprofits, and community organizations move from commitments to implementation.

After nearly 20 years in the Government of Canada, we know how the work actually gets done across policy, privacy, communications, and operations. We build tools, stories, and strategies that people can use, not just approve.

Areas of work

• Reconciliation and Indigenous engagement: action plans, facilitation, and culturally grounded advice
• Privacy, ethical data, and AI: practical guidance on privacy, risk, and responsible data use, including AI
• Storytelling and public education: podcasts, narrative design, and communications that connect
• People-centred change: strategies that support real adoption, not just compliance
• Cultural learning: performance, storytelling, and discussion with Métis Jiggers
