SERVICE AREA

How We Can Help

OSLP provides end-to-end support across six core service areas, each designed to advance Indigenous community participation and economic opportunity.

REQUEST A CONSULTATION

ENGAGMENT

Indigenous Engagement & Participation

We facilitate structured, meaningful engagement between Indigenous communities and project proponents. Our team supports consultation processes, community meetings, information sharing, and ensures Indigenous voices are heard and respected at every stage of a project. We assist in developing engagement frameworks and managing ongoing participation activities.

KNOWLEDGE & LAND

Traditional Knowledge (TK) & Traditional Land Use (TLU) Studies

Documentation and analysis of Traditional Knowledge and Traditional Land Use is critical to protecting Indigenous rights and informing responsible project planning. OSLP works directly with knowledge holders and community members to conduct thorough TK/TLU studies that meet regulatory and ethical standards, ensuring Indigenous knowledge is respected and protected.

Programs include Pre-Employment Training, Environmental Monitoring Training, Wilderness First Aid, Security Guard Training, AZ Driver Training, Line Crew Ground Support, Forest Firefighter Training, Remote Camp and Cook Services, Mechanical Harvesting, and Environmental Protection Training.

CULTURAL

Indigenous Land-Based & Cultural Training

These programs reconnect Indigenous community members with the land, cultural practices, and traditional ways of knowing and being. Land-based training fosters cultural continuity, mental wellness, and intergenerational knowledge transfer. Programs are developed in partnership with Elders and cultural knowledge holders to ensure authenticity and community relevance.
