Indigenous Benefits Agreements and Community Consultation
Partnering for Meaningful Impact on Indigenous Territories
Building True Partnerships, Creating Lasting Benefits
When working on Indigenous lands, success means more than meeting regulatory requirements. It’s about building genuine relationships, prioritizing local voices, and ensuring benefits flow directly to Indigenous communities.
Dreamcatcher Holistic Health Services Inc. (DHHS) is proud to be an Indigenous owned and led business. We bring decades of experience and deep-rooted cultural knowledge to help industry partners and Indigenous communities create mutually beneficial, respectful, and sustainable agreements.
Integrating Our Services Into Indigenous Benefits Agreements
Our health, wellness, and training programs are designed to be integrated directly into your Indigenous Benefits Agreements (IBAs), adding value for project proponents and Indigenous community partners. Check out our Indigenous Community Programs for more information on our work in local communities.
On-Site Mental Health Responders (MHRs):
We prioritize hiring, training, and supporting local Indigenous practitioners as MHRs, ensuring culturally safe, trusted support is always available for community members and work crews.
Culturally Grounded Programming:
All of our services are built on Indigenous ways of knowing, ceremony, and community connection. Every program, whether mental health, wellness, safety, or leadership development, is adapted in partnership with the community.
Diabetes Education, Plant Knowledge, and Land-Based Healing:
Our specialized workshops and wellness programs can be co-developed with Elders and Knowledge Keepers to support local health, traditional skills, and cultural revitalization.
Local Economic Participation:
We foster capacity-building and economic opportunities by training and mentoring local Indigenous staff for ongoing roles in health, safety, and wellness.
