Marsden Group Consulting
Indigenous Knowledge & Understanding
Mission
Marsden Group Consulting provides learning experiences for anyone and everyone who is willing to learn. Whether you are a first nations organization/community or you are a diverse organization/community who would like to broaden your understanding of first nations history in Canada, and how it affects us today, we are here to guide you through this journey together.
Learn Our History
Participants will see and hear the experiences of our ancestors and grandparents. Walk with us through the trauma and crippling events that have debilitated entire generations.
Feel Our Pain
Feel the helplessness and fear that our grandparents endured, and see the effects that this had on our parents and children as they moved through their lives.
Bridge Connections
When you walk away from this experience, you will find that you have a new found understanding of First Nations people and Canada. You’ll find new connections where there might have been distrust and misunderstanding.
Workshops
For First Nations
As first nations, we can take the steps to learn about our people’s history, what affects us, and how we can overcome and heal.
For Everyone
As human beings, we can take the steps to understand and empathize the impacts of our country’s history, and how it affects daily life for everyone.
Testimonials
“Brad recognizes that many of the people who take his training have little to no knowledge of Canada’s Residential School system, or the harmful impacts that they had on Indigenous peoples and communities. He approaches this information and engages with participants in a sensitive yet impactful manner. This is not easy information to present or absorb, and Brad has a special way of getting the message across, and facilitating interactive elements that add to its impact. City staff that have taken his training have given highest praises and have recommended that we ensure more staff are able to take it – so we have. To date, we have sent over 900 City staff through Brad’s training. We continue to get requests to make it available. “

“Much of this information was new for our community and Brad’s approach to presenting it was powerful, sensitive and impactful. Many of our residents who attended the workshop have spoken highly of Brad’s approach and the keen manner in which he helps people understand the fear, shame, helplessness and anger felt by Indigenous peoples in Canada.”
