Who do we advise?
Firestone Policy Group provides executive leadership advisory services to land-based, self-governing First Nations exercising recognized title and rights, including jurisdiction.
We work with Nations that are no longer simply advocating for recognition, but governing in real time: exercising authority over lands and resources, applying Indigenous Legal Orders, managing intergovernmental mandates, building internal systems, and making complex decisions at scale.
What problem do we solve?
Firestone Policy Group helps Nations close the gap between rights recognition and operational reality. We ensure self-government gets operationalized.
Recognition is only the starting point. Nations need governance architecture, decision-making systems, executive workflows, policy frameworks, risk controls, implementation plans, and reporting structures that allow jurisdiction, Indigenous Legal Orders, and self-government agreements to function in practice.
How do we support leadership?
Our advisory work supports Chiefs, Councils, Boards, CEOs, CAOs, senior executives, and governance teams as they move from political mandate to practical implementation.
We help Nations clarify strategic priorities, strengthen executive decision-making, align leadership, manage governance risk, and build the systems required to operationalize self-government in a way that is lawful, culturally grounded, and felt at the citizen level.
Where do we work best?
We support Nations at the highest level of decision-making, where governance, Indigenous Legal Orders, law, operations, intergovernmental relations, lands and resources, risk, and leadership strategy intersect.
Our work is designed to ensure that self-government is not only recognized on paper, but operationalized through systems, decisions, and outcomes that citizens can see, access, and rely on.
