Going back to the way our groups work, we've noticed that Innu and non-indigenous employees start and finish at the same place but get there by different paths. The way to conduct a project among non-indigenous people is clearly defined. There are steps that must be observed. Among the first nations, some of those steps occur somewhat later in the process. Sometimes a step is completed twice, but a little further on. You have to understand why the first nations take that step a little further on.
Non-indigenous people ultimately understand that the first nations' process is much more logical. However, they don't follow that reasoning to the point of understanding why the same step occurred twice in the process, for example.
There are also significant differences in the value hierarchy. For example, family is more important than work among first nations. Here some non-indigenous employers understand that there are differences between the value hierarchies of Innu and non-indigenous employees, and they therefore adapt their policies based on those differences.
