CALGARY — When Annie Korver sits down with a new corporate or small business client, she encourages them to focus first on the "truth" part of Truth and Reconciliation.
"I'll ask them, 'What experiences have you had? Have you read some books? Have you been in community?' And that helps me be able to shape recommendations for how we might walk together," said Korver. And as businesses work to address that call, it has created opportunity for Indigenous-led companies like Korver's. At Rise, Korver and her associates offer everything from advice on how to "decolonize" a company's brand to how to develop an Indigenous procurement strategy.
This kind of role isn't new — corporations have long hired Indigenous relations advisers to help smooth their path, especially since Indigenous consent has become a must-have when it comes to getting regulatory approval for major projects such as oil pipelines or power transmission lines. "But there are some, and I'm working with one company like this today, that are genuinely going above and beyond ... they're doing things because they want to, not because they have to."
