Nora Tate is a senior systems engineer for a biological engineering firm in Nanaimo. She was hired early last year into a job and company that she felt was a dream job. She grew up on Vancouver Island but went to university in Alberta and has established her career at a few companies in western Canada. The engineering company is considered progressive and has more women in the company than any of her previous employers. Nora is from an Indigenous community, but she doesn’t discuss her heritage at work and did not mention it during the hiring process. During her time with the company, she’s realized that almost all of her assignments involve representing the company in contracts with First Nations communities. As far as she knows, she is the only person at the engineering firm who is from an Indigenous Community. She’s becoming uncomfortable with this informal and unrecognized role. In company meetings, she frequently hears managers and other engineers complain about the difficulties the company faces when working on projects that involve First Nations. What options should she consider to address her concerns?
