Before embarking on any indigenizing task, there needs to be work done by the people taking on the task of educating themselves on the importance of decolonization.  The Nahanee Creative is a community of indigenous leaders who are: 

 “Catalyzing social change to transform colonial narratives & impacts with workshop facilitation, transformative organizational development, decolonizing workbooks & communication design grounded in Squamish Matriarchy.” https://shopfirstnations.com/businesses/canada/british-columbia/vancouver/nahanee-creative-inc/#post_content 

The group understands that this work will be hard and takes a commitment from the individual or organization who is willing to take this on.  As they say: 

“You understand… that preparing for cultural safety planning includes self-initiated research and learning that will most likely be unsettling. 

You’re ready… to take responsibility for how your questions and actions may impact Indigenous colleagues, friends, or family. 

You’re willing… to expand your understanding of Cultural Protocol, to practice Cultural Empathy, and plan for Cultural Safety everyday.” https://decolonizeeverything.org/cultural-safety
