Indigenous Engagement & Communication

Communication and engagement are essential to any strategy aiming to reconcile the most pressing social justice and economic development issues affecting Indigenous peoples.

At Argyle, we have a long history of working with Indigenous communities, nations and organizations to design and deliver programs around complex – and often sensitive – subject matter.

For us, collaboration is critical. The Argyle team combines research expertise with proven techniques to create greater awareness, engagement, mutual understanding and action. Our clients bring unique insights into culture, practices and audience specifics that only they will know.

Together, we develop authentic, meaningful communications underpinned by the principles of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the United Nation Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples. The result: better, more sustainable decisions, rooted in the needs of Indigenous peoples.
