Operation Beaver began 41 years ago and has evolved into an aboriginal. independent. and secular voluntary service organization, working primarily on housing construction/renovation, and education projects. Over 3250 volunteers have participated in Operation Beaver projects building over 2150 homes across Canada, and taking part in more than 110 education projects cross the Northwest, Yukon and Nunavut Territories. In Haiti and Bolivia, much has been accomplished on a full range of sustainable development projects.

In March over 150 community members participated in the Leadership Forums hosted by Frontiers Foundation. The OKIMA Leadership Forums provided the community with access to individual members and organizations they would not normally work with and was a beginning to learning how to work together in partnership to address community needs. The participants were eager to work together to explore new ways of working together from a common thread: from a cultural framework. This community approach to working together was successful and in the future should have government representatives actively participating in the workshops, learning and working together in mutual partnership building.
Learn to think, relate and vision for the future from an Indigenous perspective. Gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Aboriginal value and clan systems which are often misunderstood. You will also gain an historical knowledge base the about the impacts of colonial old style way of thinking and innovative Indigenous approaches through contemporary cultural models.
