Namekus provides Indigenous-led advisory services to federal departments, agencies, and organizations working at the intersection of reconciliation, policy, privacy, and public trust.
With 20+ years working with the Government of Canada, we understand how work actually moves: the constraints, the approvals, the language, and the pressure to deliver.
We don’t offer abstract advice. We help you move files forward.
1. Reconciliation Strategy & Indigenous Engagement
Move from commitments to implementation.
We support teams working to advance reconciliation in ways that are meaningful, practical, and aligned with federal realities.
Services include:
- Reconciliation action plans (practical, implementable)

Typical deliverables:
- Action plans, frameworks, and guidance documents
- Facilitated sessions and summary reports

2. Privacy & Ethical Data Advisory
Make sense of privacy, without losing the people behind the data.
With deep experience in federal privacy policy and investigations, we help teams navigate risk while keeping their work usable and human.

Change fails when it ignores people. I help teams design and implement change strategies that reflect how people actually think, feel, and work.
Services include:
- Change strategy and planning

5. Cultural Learning & Engagement Experiences
Create space for learning that is grounded, respectful, and memorable.
In collaboration with Métis Jiggers, we offer cultural experiences that combine performance, storytelling, and learning.
Services include:
- Métis jigging performances
- Cultural presentations and storytelling
- Interactive sessions for staff and public audiences
Best suited for:
- National Indigenous Peoples Day events
- Learning series and staff engagement
- Conferences and public programming
Approach: These sessions are designed to provide context and meaning—not just performance—supporting respectful cultural learning in organizational settings.
