I can speak in terms of my experience.
Our dance company in many ways goes back several decades. Back in the 1960s, when the work began with my parents and my grandmother, there was a really strong focus to revitalize practices within our communities. I have seen within the past decade or longer a lot more opportunity for collaboration. As I mentioned, our family began a collaboration even before that with Karen Jamieson Dance. When Karen first approached my father with regard to that collaboration, he had to explain the political context, he being a hereditary chief, and how to navigate that. At first he said no.
It's been quite a lot of work. Even today, it's still through developed personal relationships.
