Returning in 2026 by popular demand, True Tracks®: Pathway to Indigenous engagement is an in-person workshop delivered as part of HTQ's training and education program.

Designed for research, policy and project leaders across HTQ partner organisations, the workshops build practical capability to engage ethically, respectfully and effectively with First Nations peoples, communities, knowledge and data.

About the workshop

This interactive workshop provides a foundational understanding of:

Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP)
Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Governance
cultural considerations that underpin ethical research, projects and partnerships with and for First Nations peoples and communities.

The workshop is anchored in the Ten True Tracks Principles®, a nationally recognised Indigenous engagement framework developed by Terri Janke and Company.

Who can apply

Places are strictly limited and reserved for staff of HTQ partner organisations. You can express your interest if your:

role involves engagement with First Nations peoples, cultural materials, data or knowledge, and
role includes decision-making, advisory influence or responsibilities that shape projects, research, governance or organisational practice, and
participation addresses a clearly identified skills or capability gap within your team or organisation.
