A practical A3 companion resource that brings Indigenous allyship to life through real-world examples — showing how allyship behaviours show up in everyday settings.
Understanding allyship conceptually is one thing — recognising it in action is another.
This A3 visual framework builds on the Types of Indigenous Allyship resource by offering clear, relatable examples of how different allyship roles commonly show up in workplaces, schools, and organisations.
Through five illustrated scenarios — Friendly Appreciator, Anxious Invalidator, Accomplice, Co-Resistor, and Sponsor — this resource helps people identify patterns of behaviour without shame or blame. It shows how good intentions can stall progress when discomfort, avoidance, or control take over — and how allyship shifts when people take risks, follow Indigenous leadership, and act with accountability.
This resource is especially useful for moving conversations from theory into practice. It provides shared language, concrete reference points, and a grounded way to reflect on what allyship looks like in real life — and how it can grow.
