Glad to have listened in on this discussion--so much of what was covered aligns perfectly with my forthcoming book on these topics. I began this book years ago when I was a journalist covering Indigenous-led resistance to development by a ski resort held sacred to 13 regional tribes. I do believe the majority of settlers who recreate on Indigenous land--which is all of us on every acre of land in the US and Canada--want to do right by Indigenous communities, but don't know how. Answering that begins by listening to Indigenous people and starting from the assumption that one's love of skiing, trail running, climbing, paddling, etc. is never more important than Indigenous cultural and spiritual survival. Listen when they give guidelines for respectful interaction with their sacred spaces, listen when they say when to go and when not to go. Do not argue or demand an explanation if you don't get the answers you want--accept that there are cultural traditions, protocols, and belief systems connected to the land that are none of your business. Prepare for differences between what is "legal" and what Indigenous communities actually want. Stay humble. I understand that many folks and organizations want a check list or a universal process they can put on an infographic or something, but this not about trying to establish a set of dos and don'ts--it's about dignity, respect, and the process of making better relations with Indigenous communities and the landscapes we love. It demands that settlers and other nonIndigenous folks ask tough questions of themselves, which begins with conversations like this--and I would LOVE to see more of this, and be part of them, especially in the US.
How can recreation groups best work with First Nations and be allies in reconciliation? This is one of the main questions addressed in our most recent webinar, Reconciliation and recreation: Indigenous perspectives. We joined Roxanne Joe, the lands and resources project coordinator for the Líl’wat First Nation and Saya Masso, the land and resource manager for the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation in a meaningful discussion on how outdoor recreationists can best show up as allies for the land and communities where they live and play. Read our new Future of Recreation article for the lessons that were shared.

This was a fabulous webinar with so many specific examples of what to do, while also highlighting the challenges facing Nations who are working hard (often at their own expense) to protect the land and be able to continue traditional practices essential for physical, emotional, amd spiritual health and wellbeing. The non-Indigenous community has a lot of learning to do and significant privilege that needs to be acknowledged and left at home when recreating on unceded traditional lands (FYI - those practices also make conservation sense). My most profound take away was the explicit reminder that - “Indigenous Nations and rural communities of carry the burden of tourism”. Super Natural BC is not found in urban centres with lots of infrastructure but rather the rural and remote communities with limited resources and funding.

Our journey began with a simple belief That the knowledge and expertise accumulated within Parks and Recreation departments are “recipes” meant to be shared. Here, each recipe is a meticulously crafted document, plan, framework, or strategy from the world of parks and recreation. We're talking: 🗣 Marketing & Communication Plans 🏡 Facility/Field Rental Policies 📑 Recreation Software RFP’s 🎆 Special Event Permitting Guides And yes…we have recipes on how to deal with: Pickleball 😮 We save you time and effort by offering practical knowledge you can use immediately. Parks and Rec Professionals wear a lot of hats Within the last year you may have opened a new Community Center, promoted a new Public Art exhibit, or published a Climate and Sustainability Action Plan. City Council’s demand action, and too frequently our day is spent in meetings, checking off HR “boxes”, or updating a job description because you just lost an employee to another city who could pay $1.25/hr more than you. Your 1-on-1 with your boss is next Tuesday and they’ll ask about your research and recommendation on a new policy for a temporary off-leash dog park. As a public servant, the skillset needed to succeed as a modern day parks professional has changed. So we decided to do something about it. www.parksandrecipes.com One quick question for you before you leave… If you have 24 seconds, it would mean a lot. What’s going on in your world that led you to click on our page? Comment below and tell us what challenges you’re facing in your parks and recreation journey. I respond to every comment.

Marketing Manager @ Town of Mooresville NC | Driving Growth & Engagement | NASCAR Media Group | Smyle Marketing Group
DEFINE YOUR PURPOSE In my current role as Marketing Manager for the Mooresville Parks & Recreation Department, I have always felt it was important that the core of our purpose be defined. This definition creates clarity and defines actions, both for the internal team, and the community we are tasked with serving. Although you may struggle to clearly and accurately define that purpose, as we did initially, often simplicity is the answer. For our department, the addition of these four words clearly defines our purpose. "WHERE THE FUN BEGINS!" #marketing #purpose #clarity #mission
