On behalf of the FNAC Danièle authored the Institute’s Cultural Safety Policy (2023), First Nations Communications Policy (draft), First Nations Terminology (2023), Design Guided by Country Guidelines (under development), First Nations Procurement (under development), First Nations Resource Hub (2024), First Nations Acumen (under development) and Protocols for Welcomes to Country, and Acknowledging Country (2024).
Djinjama honours our connections to Country, community, culture and kin through our work. Djinjama’s projects actively interact with lands, waters and air, and as such we actively protect the rights of Country to be healthy in our work. We respect Traditional Custodians who have long cared for Country and aim to elevate First Voices in all our work. We are grateful to Elders and Knowledge Holders for their continued sharing of wisdom, story, language, and knowledge.
