📚 Role-Specific & Leadership Resources
As part of SARVAC’s Indigenous Awareness Campaign, we’re offering leadership-level resources to strengthen cultural competency and support respectful, community-centered HWF deployments. This awareness also supports local GSAR response efforts, helping volunteers engage safely and respectfully in their own communities.
Key resources for Mission Incident Support Team Response Coordinators (MIST RC) & Indigenous Unit Leaders To Deepen Leadership Knowledge:
🔹 TRC Calls to Action / UNDRIP / MMIWG summaries
🔹 AFN Cultural Competency Toolkit
🔹 Pauktuutit – Culturally Safe Spaces
🔹 Métis Culture & Traditions (Rupertsland Institute)
These complement the foundational training that helps all responders understand colonial history, build trust, support cultural safety, and prepare for diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis contexts.
