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.
