“One of the biggest things to fear is missing out on the opportunity to integrate Indigenous perspective into your business, into your world, into your life.” — author Alison Tedford Seaweed
Alison Tedford Seaweed is confident that the timing of her new book, The Canadian Business Owner’s Guide to Reconciliation, is spot on. She believes business owners want to do the right thing, but just don’t know how.
“I do think that there is a lot more concern around understanding how to participate in making a difference in light of recent findings…and I hope that (my book) is helpful in contributing to those conversations that are really important,” said Seaweed. She is a Nakwaxdaʼxw woman, a Kwakiutl First Nation member and an Indigenous communications professional based in Abbotsford, B.C.
