Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada Highbridge Human Capital Full time

The Qwelmínte Secwépemc (QS) is a collective of seven (7) Secwépemc communities working together to strengthen its government-to-government (G2G) relationships with the Province of British Columbia (BC) and respective ministries. Through a shared commitment outlined in the QS-BC Skú7pecen's Journey Letter of Commitment (SJ LoC), QS Signatories are working to transform how decisions are made about their Ancestral territories / Areas of Responsibility and resources.

Inspired by the Skú7pecen (Porcupine) story / telling, the SJ LoC is grounded in four (4) core principles, including the principle of Walking on Two-Legs – bringing together Indigenous and western knowledge systems to guide decision-making and land stewardship. Together, the QS is working to move beyond from outdated consultation practices and toward a new era of shared responsibility, revitalization, and collaboration
