Hahopa Warrior's Song

Executive Slam Poem

Starting a business getting a loan and needing a witness. Passed a financial fitness test. Aboriginal business best, is what come next.

I’m my own boss. First years startup costs balances with my revenue forecast of 40K. If that’s the case, this business is here to stay. Everything will be okay.

I facilitate large and small group conversations. Specialize working with indigenous nations and emerging leaders. Change seekers.  Building capacity for sovereignty, from sea to sea. Claims to aboriginal rights means responsibility. There’s an opportunity to find identity & belong. Longing to decolonize lies of our "savage" history & uncovering  the mystery of a contemporary "Indian"

There are over 600 bands in "Canada’s" part of turtle island. Each are unique & culturally exquisite  tribes. That's how I describe the context. Times that by respect. We are here to protect the land, water, & air. Taking care of water sources in our backyard, instead its got discarded nuclear waste. These are the two futures that we face. Which one do you want to taste?

The market opportunity far exceeds expectations and my own personal needs which means that viability can be achieved by September 2014.  Investing savings plus a loan from NEDC.
 
Until market research proves differently, I will be dividing services by ethnicities. Native nation building is the biggest opportunity that I foresee.

As I get started, the secondary sector target is the art of hosting market. There is a demand because it’s an expanding field, yielding moderate sales. This market takes more time to sell.  Customers kiss and tell by referring or being recurring clientele.

To create change fast, a clear target is the young indigenous people’s market. Demographically, 25 and under is growing rapidly. The key purpose of my service is activating blood memories by doing activities like sacred ceremonies, or a territories tour. Feast. Listen to ancestral histories. Celebrate resilient victories.

Determining a qualifying customer quick. My main marketing initiatives are derivative of research. Talking to decision makers is key to Outreach.  Keeping contacts warm, by year five I’ll be working up a storm. Facilitating conversations is an art form. My company will help you transform & change our social norm. There’s a lot at stake. Website  is online real-estate. It's maintenance will be lightweight.
