History
Red Echo Associates was established in October 1993 by the late Arsene Tootoosis, driven by the vision of delivering high-quality and effective workshops and seminars to First Nations communities and agencies. With over five decades of collective experience, our team continues to provide impactful counseling, workshops, seminars, and training to First Nation communities and families. In 1994, Arsene and Kimberly initiated their mentorship training under Robert Buchanan to launch the Life Skills Coach Training Program.
