Prior to this, Gordon led work in Aboriginal Title and Rights and Economic Development for the Sto:lo Nation for 14 years, the Sts’ailes (Chehalis Indian Band) for 9 years, and the Alliance of Tribal Councils (38 First Nations from Valemont to Vancouver, along the Thompson and Fraser Rivers) for 5 years. Gordon has a background in anthropology and archaeology and, among other things, was the first academic in Canada to do a thesis on Aboriginal sacred sites.
