Where Tradition meets Excellence, and Safety is for Everyone, Everywhere
Cultural Harmony: Integrating Indigenous Wisdom into Safety
At Askiy Mahihkan Safety, we take immense pride in our role as guardians of safety, embracing not only regulatory standards but also the profound cultural heritage of the Cree Nation. Under the dedicated leadership of Jaclyn Ginther, a committed member of the Enoch Cree Nation, our commitment extends beyond the surface as we integrate Cree cultural wisdom into every aspect of our safety consulting services.
Communal Responsibility
Our approach to safety embodies the spirit of communal responsibility, drawing inspiration from the Cree tradition. Safety is a shared endeavor within the community, underscoring the importance of looking out for one another. This approach fosters a sense of unity and support, making safety an intrinsic part of our collective work culture.
Respect for elders
Our safety programs pay deep respect to experience and wisdom, reflecting the Cree value of respecting elders and their teachings. We create mentorship opportunities that bridge generational gaps, enriching the safety journey with the valuable insights of those who have come before us.
connection to nature
Our safety philosophy aligns with the Cree belief in the interconnectedness of people and the environment. We incorporate elements promoting environmental sustainability, reflecting a harmonious relationship with nature. This instills a sense of responsibility for the well-being of individuals and the world.
oral tradition
Storytelling is a powerful educational tool, and we harness its potential to share safety lessons and best practices through oral tradition. This approach makes safety information engaging, memorable, and deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of the Cree community.
holistic well-being
Safety extends beyond physical well-being to encompass mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. We champion holistic wellness programs that address the overall health of individuals, aligning with the Cree belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
cultural celebrations
Cultural celebrations and identity are integral to our approach. We seamlessly integrate safety messages into cultural festivals and events, using these occasions to reinforce the importance of safety while celebrating cultural identity. In this context, safety becomes a celebration of cultural values and a testament to our commitment to safety and heritage.
collective decision making
In our safety processes, we strongly emphasize collective decision-making, involving employees in discussions related to safety policies and procedures. This ensures that our safety initiatives align with the values of the community we serve.
symbolism and Imagery
We employ symbolism and imagery with deep cultural significance to convey safety messages. This may include incorporating traditional Cree symbols or visuals in safety materials creating a visual language that resonates with the community.
language inclusivity
Ensuring that safety communication includes Cree language or phrases demonstrates our respect for the cultural diversity within the community. Language becomes a bridge that connects safety principles with the rich linguistic heritage of the Cree Nation.
teachings of RESILIENCE
We draw on traditional teachings of resilience and adaptability, integrating these lessons into safety training. This instills a mindset of overcoming challenges, learning from experiences, and embracing the strength of cultural teachings.
By incorporating these values into our safety programs, we enhance cultural relevance and create a safety framework that resonates with the Cree community and other Indigenous cultures. Join us on a safety journey where tradition meets excellence. Safety is not just a requirement but a reflection of cultural values. This journey welcomes collaboration with other Indigenous cultures to preserve their unique cultural significance in safety.
