Built Around the Client
Indigenous Initiation begins with the participant and one question: What’s your dream? From there, participants build real enterprises while learning to understand the systems around them and themselves within those systems.
How the Program Works
Our Focus
Indigenous Initiation uses real enterprise development as the learning environment. Participants build, solve problems, work with technology and respond to real-world situations while learning to understand the systems around them and themselves within those systems.
Building an Enterprise
Real projects create real problems, decisions and opportunities to learn.
Interpersonal Development
Participants learn to recognize how they think, communicate, respond and operate within the system.
Technology & Innovation
Build → Observe → Interpret → Adapt → Build Again
Language & Knowledge
Indigenous language, oral knowledge and ways of learning.
Business & Innovation
Entrepreneurship, intellectual property, technology and AI.
How We Work
Indigenous Initiation begins with a real project. Participants build an enterprise, encounter real problems, make decisions and adapt as the project develops. The work itself creates the opportunities for learning, while interpersonal development helps participants understand how they operate within the system.
Who We Work With
Indigenous Initiation works with First Nations, Indigenous organizations, schools, youth programs, communities, governments and other organizations seeking project-based development that brings together enterprise, technology, culture and interpersonal development.
