-Incorporate Indigenous people into your businesses – set up a ‘giveback’ or social enterprise arm to your business, introduce an Acknowledgment of Country on your website, at your events, at the beginning of your videos, add anti-racism policies to your workplace

-Avoid reacting from a place of anger – reflect first and act from a place of critical thinking – don’t just follow the trends – that’s what landed us here in the first place

-Manage your own emotions – don’t numb or project your pain – it adds to the hate and disharmony that created this war and pain in the first place –

-Connect to the land, sit in circle, sing, dance, share stories, light a fire and put yourself in the shoes of the First Nation People who walked this land long before us – it will activate empathy, compassion, awe, and inspiration and ensure you embody your beliefs around equality for all, preserve the traditions and leave a legacy for future generations to come

-Meditate and hold a vibration of love, harmony, and equality for all
