This Zine was written in response to inquiries about not overstepping boundaries when working with Indigenous communities and organizations. The author provides answers for questions regarding “how much help is too much help and when to draw the line” between helping and appropriating and promoting one’s own need for gratification by doing something within the struggle that is meaningful.” Another sometimes difficult read, but overall an incredibly useful guide to respectful solidarity work and activism, with thought-provoking questions and encouragement.

The 2014 Ontario Budget and the mandate letter to the then Minister of Aboriginal Affairs committed to moving forward with a Treaty Strategy that would, among other things, retivalize treaty relationships. In response, the Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation engaged an independent Indigenous facilitator to lead forum discussions with Indigenous peoples across Ontario, inviting members from Indigenous communities and organizations to share their perspectiveson treaties. The facilitators took handwritten notes and produced a facilitator’s report, from which this report was written. This report summarizes what was expressed at the treaty forums and can be used as a discussion tool; it represents a master summary of community voices and includes additional resources and teaching tools created by Indigenous partners or through partnerships with the Government of Ontario.

Extract from the article: "Indigenous worldviews are generally holistic in perspective and encompass interconnections amongst all aspects of life and place (Barnhardt & Kawagley, 2005). From this interconnected view of the universe, a sense of cultural identity, collective purpose and belonging is derived. Cultural wellbeing relies on the individual becoming situated within
a cultural worldview. For Inuit, being grounded in Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit supports personal wellness, but also contributes to a collective cultural sense of health and wellness which has sustained Inuit over generations.1 Inuit Elders in Nunavut are documenting Inuit worldview so that the strengths which have always sustained them will still be available to future generations."
