Program scope

Stewardship programming.

Inawendiwin is the public brand for the Inawendiwin Stewardship Program. We help Nations design and run programs for recurring local contributions, participant recognition and accountable reporting. The Nation authorizes the program, sets protocol, approves participants, and directs uses.

Programming first.

Inawendiwin contributions support three kinds of Nation-directed stewardship:
Land and water
Guardian work, water protection and monitoring, and habitat restoration.
People and knowledge
Youth training and learning that keep that care going.
Community care
Local care the authorizing Nation puts on its approved list.
The Nation chooses the uses inside these types.

Contributions release only for Nation-approved priorities inside the three types.

Focus is stewardship programming. Inawendiwin does not operate the crews. It funds work the Nation approves.

Nation authorization does not replace applicable legal requirements. No provider appointment is promised.

Written arrangements before contributions.

Waaseyak Corp. administers program design, participation and reporting under Nation authority. Written agreements must identify the contribution recipient, handling arrangements, approval controls and reporting before contributions begin. The 1% remits in full to the Nation. Not taken off a Nation invoice. Inawendiwin is a client file when a Nation authorizes it. No Nation is treated as a signed client. This is not a representation that funds are already held in a trust.

Participation has limits.

Contributions do not confer ownership or a right to profits. Partner status records protocol, contribution and reporting for a stated period.

A stewardship contribution and a relationship.

Not charity theatre. Not a marketing claim.

Partner listing proves protocol, contribution, and reporting for a stated period only.

Not consent, consultation, social licence, Indigenous ownership, carbon neutrality, or a product-wide sustainability rating.

Contributions do not buy consent, satisfy consultation or accommodation, waive rights, or replace regulatory duties.

Waaseyak administers. Inawendiwin is a client file when a Nation authorizes it.

No Nation is treated as a signed client.
