“Bryan has been providing service to my Nation for 23 years, and has been the main support to the Negotiations Department for more than a decade.
We have relied heavily on Bryan’s services to provide clarity of process, give sound strategic advice that is founded upon truly Tlingit values, and that evolves as modernization impacts policy and law.
The changing context of the organization itself has adapted to the decades of change, but Bryan’s steady and respectful service has been absolutely exemplary.
He is well known and trusted in our community for his thoughtful service and advice, ability to truth tell in difficult moments, and getting to the heart of the issue in a way that maximises relationships.
In some ways, he has become a knowledge keeper for our future generations. He has worked with our Elders and community for so long that he can tell stories of my people and lands as a way to teach and educate while we work to advance the goals of the Nation.
Bryan has a quiet and perceptive manner that leads to astute advice and respectful ways of building capacity in Nation members.
We are deeply grateful for the long-time service our trusted adviser, service provider, and friend has provided over the decades.”
“Julian has provided service to my Nation for 23 years and has been a foundational strategist and support to all those who have worked with him.
He has extraordinary skills in areas that elevate critical issues for Indigenous Nations, helping to increase organizational and systemic capacity.
His ability to respectfully train staff and tirelessly support important issues through the voice of the Nation has led to incredible gains within complex working situations.
Julian may be the most organized and technically skilled people I have ever worked with in his areas of expertise, of which there are many!
He is often the backbone of any working group given his high capacity abilities, which are not to be outshone by his strategic mind and ability to help nations and groups plan well.
In times of high stress and celebration, Julian has become a long-time trusted friend, colleague, and service provider to my people and community, and I am so grateful we will continue to work with Dovetail for many more years to come.”
Our approach is grounded in a love of wild places, deep respect for the rights of Indigenous peoples, and a commitment to strengthening the resilience of communities and organizations.
