Discover the Impact of Reconciliation-Led DEI

Our Vision

We envision a world where reconciliation is more than a word – it's a shared commitment to truth, transformation, and relationship.

Join our community of partners who see a world where Indigenous and non-Indigenous ways of knowing stand side by side, offering clarity, compassion, and direction towards a sustainable future.

Grounded in the principle of Two-Eyed Seeing, we believe that the strongest path forward embraces both the wisdom of Indigenous Knowledge and the strengths of Western systems. Together, they help us walk with balance – toward equity, understanding, and collective wellbeing.

This work is not about checking boxes. It's about creating space:

Space for hard conversations and heartfelt learning.
Space for Indigenous voices to be heard, held, and respected.
Space to reimagine systems that have too long excluded or harmed.

Our vision is built within relationships. It is shaped by those we walk beside within our many collaborations and partnerships with Knowledge Keepers, students, educators, community members, and allies. We strive to build something honest, rooted, and real.

Our Services

Reconciliation 3-6-5

Reconciliation 3-6-5 is a flexible offering designed to support individuals and organizations in making reconciliation a living, daily practice. Through short, intentional sessions, we build understanding, encourage reflection, and offer practical ways to embed reconciliation into your workplace culture year-round.

This is for teams and leaders ready to move beyond statements and into consistent, values-led action—365 days a year.

Workshops

Kalawikk's workshops create space for honest dialogue, deep learning, and practical change. Our sessions are rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems, especially the principle of Two-Eyed Seeing, and shaped by years of experience in adult education, community engagement, and justice work.

Inclusive Leadership Coaching

Inclusive leadership isn’t a trend—it’s a responsibility. I support leaders and leadership teams in developing the mindsets, skills, and strategies needed to guide organizations through complexity, resistance, and meaningful change.

Drawing on both Indigenous and Western leadership frameworks—including the principle of Two-Eyed Seeing—I offer consulting that goes beyond checklists and into the heart of relational, equity-informed leadership.

Guest Speaking

Bring meaningful insight, clarity, and heart to your next event.

Whether you’re organizing a conference, hosting a panel, or seeking a keynote speaker, Kalawikk offers grounded, thought-provoking speaking that centers Indigenous knowledge, reconciliation, and the power of relational leadership.

Each session is shaped to meet the moment—designed in conversation with you, for your audience.

Curriculum & Resource Development

Custom educational content that supports deep learning and practical transformation need not be complicated. Whether building internal capacity, onboarding new staff, or launching a public initiative, Kalawikk designs with clarity, cultural grounding, and purpose.

Faciliation & Dialogue Hosting

Some conversations require care, courage, and skilled guidance. Kalawikk offers facilitation that creates space for dialogue across difference—grounded in Indigenous values, Two-Eyed Seeing, and relational accountability.

Where Vision Meets Action

Currently in the development stage, and supported by ArtsNL, Reclamation is a documentary series highlighting the stories of Indigenous people reconnecting to their culture. Kalawikk is engaging with Indigenous community leaders and Elders to build protocols to honour and protect the stories we will share.

Under development, this story will show audiences a version of Canada only dreamt of before. Action filled, fast moving story, Kalawikk joins the project under the roles of Producer / Writer. ReStart will make you reimagine the past while making you question the present.

Kalawikk Founder, Tera McDonald, was invited to contribute a chapter to the global textbook project Indigenous Management: Knowledges & Frameworks slated for publishing late 2025. This chapter is rooted in Etuaptmumk (two-eyed seeing) and shares ways modern businesses can incorporate Mi'kmaw productivity practices.

Supported by PictureNL through the Empower Grant, this short film uplifts the 'why' behind the choices of Indigenous women to become entrepreneurs. Currently in pre-production, Kalawikk is grateful for the mentorship and guidance of Tanya Brunel of White Bear Films.

Working with Indigenous youth across the province of NL alongside SucSeed, we provided facilitation on both narrative sovereignty and creative writing to publish Water Warriors: the story of an Innu, Inuit, and Mi'kmaw child who band together to preserve our waterways.

Written by Leahdawn Helena and published by Breakwater Books, Stolen Sisters is a moving one woman play that explores the life of Shanadithit, both the first MMIW and last Beothuk. Our founder designed the book's cover art for the play's original opening and now for the publication of the book.

Explore our founder's entrepreneurial journey in this anthology of Indigenous women entrepreneurs. Each chapter of the book shares the ups and downs of embarking on owning one's own business Indigenously.

Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada

Yvette Rasmussen, Consultant

As a proud Indigenous entrepreneur, Tera seamlessly applies traditional knowledge to business practices using Two-Eyed-Seeing to tap the potential of Indigenous people on the road to reconciliation. Her mastery of the DEI field is enriched by their years spent teaching students, ensuring every individual's learning style is acknowledged, valued, and addressed. Bringing these skills to workplace training is imperative to create safe and inclusive spaces for individuals of all backgrounds, talents, and orientations on the road to reconciliation.

Keyin College

Craig Tucker, Co-Owner

"We’ve had the privilege of working with Tera on several meaningful projects and initiatives. Her commitment to her work—and to the communities she serves—is truly exceptional, and we consider her an “unofficial” member of the Keyin team.

Laurabel Mba, Owner

Getting the opportunity to learn about Two-Eyed Seeing from Tera truly transformed my understanding of how to create inclusive environments. Her presentation style goes beyond just providing valuable information; it encourages deep self-reflection and analysis. After attending her workshop or presentation, you feel inspired to apply what you've learned, knowing that progress is about intentionality, not perfection. Tera shows you how to continue growing and learning, even when you don’t have it all figured out yet.
