Using Open Space in an indigenous context

[Chris Corrigan]

Many of you know that my primary field of practice in Open Space in the last
10+ years has been in indigenous communities in North America.  The client I
am working for at the moment, The National Centre for First Nations
Governenace, is using Open Space as a key tool for engaging with communities
and developing strategies for the implementation of Aboriginal rights and
title.  My colleagues Chris Robertson, Sheldon Tetreault Pawa Haiyupis,
Brenna Clark and Jon Swanson have been using Open Space for a number of
years now with the Centre and recently I came across a paper that Jon wrote
for the Journal of Aboriginal Management called "A Model For Aboriginal
Facilitation."  Worth a read I think if you are working with indigenous
communities, or are interested in the application of Open Space in our
communities:
