Abstract

Meaningful participation of Indigenous youth is embedded in the broader historical context of consultations with Indigenous peoples in Canada that have often reproduced colonial power dynamics. This article describes an Indigenous-driven consultation in Quebec that provided culturally responsive spaces where youth defined priorities. The consultative formats undertaken by four Indigenous organizations involved (a) engaging and representing youth's diverse realities, (b) reappropriation of process, (c) supporting youth voices and identities, and (d) multilevel impacts. Appropriate and inclusive approaches to consultation support meaningful youth participation, sense of identity and belonging, and autonomy. These innovative practices demonstrate how Indigenous youth reclaim marginalized political spaces.
