Aboriginal Consulting
Totem facilitates small and large scale projects between Saskatchewan industry leaders and Aboriginal communities. Our focus is on building relationships in a manner that respects the land, environment, rights and cultures of Saskatchewan’s First Nations people.
We value the importance of building relationships with the communities in which we work, Aboriginal groups and businesses, industry and government partners, landowners, suppliers of goods and services, and entrepreneurs. We recognize that building and earning trust from you is essential to who we are as a company and to enhancing our ability for growth, continued improvement and positive change.
