Boots on the Ground Approach

Reconciliation Education and filmmaker Andrée Cazabon operate and create content from a ‘boots on the ground with a community approach’. Our work is ‘on the ground’ and not from a glass tower office. We participate with communities, (by invitation) to deepen the understanding and to honour the Indigenous creators and authors we work with. We are overseen by First Nations University of Canada, our partner. 

We can be found learning working and being with Indigenous Nations during: weddings, medicine picking trips deep in the bush, on a boat fishing, in their corporate boardrooms, deep in the boreal forest winter camping with youth, helping crisis teams during youth suicide funerals, in ceremony in remote Inuit and Cree communities, at hospitals with family, in courthouses of national justice cases, at graduation, on a buffalo herd field, with Survivors of Residential Schools, with veterans and in Indigenous classrooms.

We work under the direction and vision of Indigenous creators and in the community itself. We’ve never filmed an interview in our urban offices - we are out there - on the land and in the authentic space itself, spending time before and after, until the time to film is right for all. We don’t sub-contract our work out to other companies: we roll up our sleeves and honour every component of our productions by digging in and creating a respectful space for Indigenous creators to operate from. By being deeply engaged and laser-focused in our work, we ensure that every piece of the project, from a critical interview to a simple graphic on a slide, creates a greater whole which elevates and inspires, teaching in a positive context… from a good heart - a good mind.

Our commitment to reconciliation, since 2007, is unwavering and we are here for the long-term - fully present in our education initiatives.
