title: Indigenous Council Circle
description: >-
A pan-Indigenous council practice of gathering in a circle to deliberate
on community matters, where each person speaks in turn and decisions
emerge through patient consensus. Observed among many Indigenous nations
across North America, with variations in protocol specific to each
nation's traditions.

steps:
- headline: Open the circle
description: >-
A designated person opens the circle, often with a brief grounding
or words of welcome that acknowledge the land and the purpose of
gathering.
- headline: Pass the talking piece
description: >-
A talking piece is passed around the circle. Only the person holding
it speaks; all others listen without interruption.
- headline: Speak and listen in turn
description: >-
Each person shares their perspective on the matter when the talking
piece reaches them. Passing is always an option.
- headline: Continue rounds until consensus
description: >-
The circle continues for as many rounds as needed. The facilitator
may summarise emerging points of agreement between rounds.
- headline: Close with acknowledgement
description: >-
When a decision is reached or the circle is complete, the gathering
closes with words of thanks and an acknowledgement of what was
shared.
outcome: >-
The community has deliberated together in a form that honours every
voice and reaches decisions through patient consensus.
practice: >-
The circle is not a meeting format that can be casually adopted — it
carries cultural meaning. If you are not Indigenous, learn from
Indigenous teachers rather than appropriating the form. The specific
opening, closing, and talking piece protocols vary by nation.
