Embodied Indigenous leadership

This section takes us into how we all care for community. Rachelle talks about Indigenous leadership principles and encourages us to explore our values.  

Questions for self-reflection

  • What leadership principles do you embody?
  • Which ones do you want to grow?
  • Do you have any Elders in your own life who provide insights and guidance?
  • What are your values, and where do they come from?

Reflections for your workplace

  • How is your workplace accountable to your community?
  • Does the organization ask, how will our actions benefit the whole community?

The first people known to inhabit the Mount Robson area were the Texqakallt First Nation. These people lived near the headwaters of the Fraser River and referred to Mount Robson itself as Yuh-hai-has-kun or ‘The Mountain of the Spiral Road’, on account of its layered nature. Learn more.
