​

Adam and Steven each have over 20 years experience in effectively and efficiently navigating a wide array federal, state, county, and other governmental agencies permits across the Pacific Northwest. Only by Supporting each other can we decolonize the present and re-Indigenize the future.

 

Two decades of experience engaging with federal and  state agencies,  local municipalities, schools, museums, and inter-Tribal governments on technical, policy, and political processes. We also have collaborated with policymakers and legal experts in writing, designing, and implementing program and policy research, development, review, and legislation. 

​

We know that environmental and cultural resources are one and the same and that the current "best practices" do not work for the benefit of Indigenous Peoples worldwide.

After collaborating for over a decade, we are proud to offer our skills, knowledge, and passion as a NOT for profit organization whose mission is to educate, empower, and provide support to Indigenous and other disenfranchised, ignored, and suppressed - regardless of ethnicity, political or socio-economic status.

​

At sdunungan we know from over two decades of experience that these policies and procedures are often long, difficult, and confusing for everyone involved. The expectation  that unbiased and  transparent communication is the foundation of  “good faith” consultation under United States law can only be achieved by an understanding of and respecting the inherent rights and sovereignty of Indigenous Peoples Knowledge and our millina old connections to the landscape are the soil that their foundation is settled on.
