We are two Indigenous women from St’át’imc, Secwépemc, and Gitxsan First Nations, with backgrounds in education, business, health regulation, facilitation, and community-centred work.
We support organizations to move with more honesty, care, and responsibility in how they work with Indigenous people, culture, and communities.
SIM and WENÁCW both mean true, or truth, in our traditional languages. That shared meaning brought us together and continues to guide our work.
We’re SIM WENÁCW and and everything we do is rooted in truth.
Truth in practice.
SIM WENÁCW began through shared values, shared questions, and years of working within systems that often want change, but are still learning how to carry it.
Our paths are both rooted in education. We have supported learners, built businesses, worked in health regulation, led community-centred work, and created spaces for people to gather, learn, and reflect.
Across these experiences, we kept seeing the same gap: cultural safety is often talked about, but not always felt.
That is why we created SIM WENÁCW.
To support organizations with openings, workshops, facilitation, policy review, and learning that moves beyond intention into practice.
THIS WORK COMES FROM RELATIONSHIP.
