Strategic Planning

We help organizations forge lasting Indigenous partnerships with strategies for reconciliation and collaboration.

Honouring the Past, Building for the Future

Our strategic planning processes employ Indigenous worldviews and methodologies emphasizing a relational approach that reflects our cultural values. Guided by the teachings of Nibwaakaawin (Wisdom) and Two-eyed Seeing, we utilize a holistic lens, considering the broader impacts of organizational decisions and actions on communities, ecosystems, and future generations.

Our strategic planning services help you navigate structural change and organizational visioning with authenticity. When organizations plan with Gwekwaadziwin (Honesty) and strategize with Aakwa’ode’ewin (Bravery), they create enterprises and partnerships that are built to last.

A Vision for Shared Prosperity

We encourage the active participation of client communities, ensuring their voices and knowledge inform planning and decision-making processes. The aim is to cultivate long-term partnerships based on shared goals to create a sense of mutual ownership and accountability. Our approach to strategic planning promotes a more equitable and inclusive future, where diverse perspectives are valued, and sustainable practices are prioritized.

Sarah Hopkins

Sarah Hopkins, our Matriarch, is Turtle Clan of the Lenni Lenape who were displaced from their homeland of Lenapehoking (New York City) to Eelŭnaapéewi Lahkéewiit (Delaware Nation) in southwestern Ontario. Sarah is a Day School survivor who was raised by her Mother, who taught her the importance of standing up for what you believe; her Grandmother, a residential school survivor; and her Great-Grandmother, who spoke only Lenape. With the support of her family, Sarah founded Three Sisters Consulting in 2018, a company dedicated to amplifying the voices of Indigenous Peoples and helping them achieve business, professional, and personal success. Sarah is an active member of her community; she served as an Elected member of Council for her Nation, Treasurer and Board Member for her tribal council, and current Board Member for the Canadian Mental Health Association, Lambton Kent chapter. She has worked with not-for-profits, governments, and corporations on a variety of topics including Indigenous legal systems, economic development, mining initiatives, Impact Benefit Assessments, negotiations, and Indigenous engagement impacting legislation. When she is not working, you can find Sarah looking for opportunities to share space with our extended community across Turtle Island.
