Our Story

Our Story & Purpose

Grounded in Culture. Guided by Purpose. Built on Relationships.

A Lasting Legacy

Sakoya Consulting was born from a shared belief in the importance of traditional healing, meaningful connection, and dedicated community service. Co-founders Christopher and Chelsey Dubois established the firm to carry forward a meaningful family legacy, honoring Chelsey’s daughter, Sakoya, whose name connects deeply with the enduring strength and deep-rooted nature of the sequoia tree.

Through this company, we carry her memory forward by building a firm designed to support future generations. Our visual identity—featuring a white buffalo and an evergreen tree rising through its center—serves as our constant design reference, anchoring our commitment to professional excellence without reducing our multi-faceted capabilities to a single focal point.

Our Core Principles

  • Relationship-Centered Approach – Listening closely to client needs, building transparent goals, and working collaboratively alongside leadership teams.
  • Cultural Integrity – Ensuring all facilitation and workshops respect traditional protocols, participant safety, and clear professional boundaries.
  • Long-Term Sustainability – Ensuring all frameworks, programs, and strategic outcomes benefit future generations.
