There is an ongoing assumption that all First Nations communities are the same because we identify as First Nations. This is ill-informed, ignorant, and disrespectful. Every community has unique cultures, protocols, practices, and ways of being and doing. Some are accident practices, and some are modified ways of operating in a post-colonial world. However, the fundamental principles of our thinking, doing, and being remain intact. Therefore, organisations must continue to educate their staff on cultural and community processes when building and maintaining relationships with First Nations people and communities. Now, you might think this is not directly related to communications. Still, I challenge you to consider this: How will the members of your workforce who have never met a single First Nations person know there are differences and profound diversity if you don’t consistently create effective messaging and storytelling to inform them? Communication that is educational and informative and aims to equip staff with the right skills and competencies to engage with First Nations people and communities is critical to the RAP's impact.
