Native-Land.ca is a website run by the nonprofit organization Native Land Digital.

The digital map strives to map Indigenous lands in a way that changes, challenges, and improves the way people see the history of their countries and peoples. Its hope is to strengthen the spiritual bonds that people have with the land, its people, and its meaning.

Mapping Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages across the world has a way that goes beyond colonial ways of thinking in order to better represent how Indigenous people want to see themselves.

They provide educational resources to correct the way that people speak about colonialism and indigeneity, and to encourage territory awareness in everyday speech and action.

Show Highlights

  • How being a hospice volunteer helped create a non judgmental leadership approach.
  • Creating emotionally engaging cultural educational experiences.
  • Masterclass on empathy, listening, and powerful storytelling for leaders to use.
  • Decision making requires enough time to be uncomfortable with time
  • Fantasy and games create commonality and open up necessary possibilities for students
  • How to cause good trouble in the world
  • Before you can make a ruckus, you’ve got to create a sense of belonging.
  • Inspire the idea of challenging what we think.
  • Decision making is about mistakes and the outcome. Own any outcome.

“One of the hardest things to do is to give that kind of compassionate listening when you are being judged. When the person you’re listening to is having a hard time listening to you. It’s tough because as a leader, you’re in a position of authority. By that very nature, you are the one who has power over them or over the outcome. It can be very challenging when that emotional burden is in your chair because it is upon you to give more compassionate listening. Boy it can feel lonely. There can be days when you’re human too, and you just don’t want to hear yet another reason why someone thinks you’re wrong.”

-Meghan Gardner
