“We must build our Nations on our own terms”
— Margo Auger
In describing her vision, Margo places identity, languages, rights, laws, cultures, and traditions at the centre of Nationhood. Her approach draws on integrity, honesty, Treaty teachings, oral history, and traditional knowledge.
Her work connects these foundations to First Nations-led governance, law development, and training for administrators and leaders. She also describes sharing knowledge about history, ways of life, and the relationship with lands, waters, and natural resources as a personal passion.
