The Firelight Group is the largest Indigenous-owned consulting group working with Indigenous Nations across Turtle Island. We provide research, engagement, technical, advisory, and training services to support Indigenous sovereignty.
We strive to move beyond traditional models of research and consulting, which can be characterized as primarily outside-expert driven and extractive, to a strengths-based approach. We do this by prioritizing and centering Indigenous knowledges, traditions, core values, world views, and cultural integrity. Firelight’s work is community-centred, and led by the Nation.
The four main values that guide our work are:
Relationships: Building and nurturing reciprocal relationships is the core of what we do and who we are. We know our role as an Indigenous-owned company upholding Indigenous sovereignty.
Accountability: We are accountable to our clients and to uphold the values of Firelight and our approach in the work we do.
Quality: Our work is methodologically rigorous with products of the highest quality and continue to push boundaries of what is possible.
Responsibility: We acknowledge our role in nurturing respect, trust, and taking responsibility for our actions.
