communicating these processes to our
partners,” says Fontaine. Ishkonigan’s fa-
miliarity with how the Federal political and
bureaucratic decision making processes
work has led Indigenous communities to
greater participation in these processes,
again establishing very successful work-
ing relationships.
“These projects, which are usually in the
resource sector and take place on Indige-
nous land, when put together in a way that
benefits all parties, can mean a new future
for these communities which otherwise
would have very few prospects. This has
helped to change the path for future gen-
erations in this country, and we are proud
to be a part of that.”
