Indigenous leaders are looking to work more collaboratively to create a plan to invest in “important projects.”
What those projects include remains to be seen.
Leaders had a two-day forum earlier this month where they started creating a five-year strategic plan.
In a news release sent by Denendeh Investments Inc., it says, “This work will be completed through the formation of an Investor Committee which will include representatives from the Dene, Métis and Inuvialuit.”
It adds, “The framework is built on two immediate priorities: identifying and investing in initial projects within the first year, as well as pursuing the development of a venture investment fund for future opportunities.”
A handful of leaders were quoted in the release, all looking forward to advancing an Indigenous-led approach to economic development.
