Accompaniment Team

Accompanists are individuals or groups who walk alongside and support directly impacted people, communities, and land. The role is rooted in solidarity and emphasizes horizontal, non-hierarchical relationships built on trust, empathy, and mutual learning.  Our Accompaniment Team follows the guidance of Indigenous leaders in our collaborative work and we show up as good relatives in solidarity to dismantle laws, policies, and systems that uphold inequality and facilitate exploitation of the living wold.

Training Application

Potential team members receive multi-day training provided by the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery in surfacing core assumptions about justice, engaging in power analysis, enduring discomfort, taking steps toward repair, and non-violent communication.
