Support Indigenous Communities
CIER works with those having common interests including:
- First Nation, Métis, and Inuit Councils and Communities
- Municipal and Federal Governments
- Foundations
- Non-Government Organizations
- Universities
We work with Indigenous communities to build environmental capacity. CIER educates, conducts research, and builds skills to assist Indigenous communities in taking action to solve the environmental problems affecting their lands and waters. We learn with, teach, and connect Indigenous communities and organizations with the resources they need to achieve their goals.
We can offer your community or organization support in:
• Project Management and Coordination
• Community, Youth, and Elder Engagement
• Non-Indigenous Stakeholder Engagement & Partnership Building
• Indigenous Knowledge, Mapping, and Language Studies
• Community-Based Monitoring
• Workshop Facilitation
• Strategic Advising and Support to Strengthen Indigenous Governance
• Research Services
• Fund Development and Funder Relations
If you have an idea for a new project or are looking for support/training to amplify your current work, contact us to discuss how we can support you. Contact Us
