What is Culturally Committed?

Our Vision: Cultivating Safe Spaces for Shared Learning

Our Mission: We are building a community where safe spaces for learning ignite authentic, reciprocal relationships between Indigenous peoples and settlers. With unwavering respect and a deep commitment to reconciliation, we take responsibility together, recognizing that true healing and growth come from shared efforts. Through the power of reciprocity, we create an environment where every voice is honored, and the path toward understanding and meaningful change is walked side by side.

What We Do

Client Feedback

At Culturally Committed, we recognize that cultural humility is a lifelong journey, and we actively engage the Indigenous community in guiding this process. By seeking direct feedback from clients, we empower providers to understand what culturally safe care truly looks like from an Indigenous perspective. This collaboration helps shape more effective, respectful, and culturally aware practices.

Culturally Committed Provider Registry 

Our registry connects Indigenous clients with service providers committed to continuous cultural safety education. Each provider demonstrates an ongoing dedication to unlearning colonial practices and improving their cultural safety through active participation in workshops, seminars, and educational opportunities. This resource is designed to ensure that Indigenous communities can access services from individuals who are actively striving to create safer, more respectful spaces."

For those wishing to begin their learning journey:

"We offer bimonthly learning sessions with Indigenous Elders, Mentors, and Knowledge Keepers, creating a respectful and supportive environment for deep learning. These sessions provide a unique opportunity to engage directly, ask meaningful questions, and gain firsthand insights into Indigenous knowledge systems and cultural perspectives. It’s a safe space designed to foster understanding and build stronger relationships."

A Working Definition of

Cultural Safety

 

Cultural safety is both an environment and an approach to care that is defined as “safe” by those who are impacted by the services they are receiving.

Acknowledgements

I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of those who have guided my (occasionally misguided) intentions as I've deepened my understanding of cultural safety and humility. I raise my hands to all of the Elders, teachers, community members, colleagues, and acquaintances who've become the closest of friends. 

​

I'd also like to acknowledge the amazing photographer who captured the images shared on this page: the incredibly talented and ridiculously humble Ryan Dawson, from Dzawada'unuxw First Nation. Ryan, I am so grateful our paths have crossed.
