nities and help those communities estab-
lish new resources and employment for
their members.
First Nation perspective
As mentioned, tax, liability protection,
and employment are often the key items
that the First Nation community will look
for in a new business venture. Another key
factor to consider is whether the jointly
owned entity may qualify as “Indigenous
owned,” meaning over 50 per cent is held
by the First Nation community. As an In-
digenous-owned organization, the busi-
ness may qualify for grants, funding and
loans, as well as procurement opportuni-
ties from government and other organi-
zations. This opens up additional paths of
capital, debt and business opportunities
that may not otherwise be achieved.
Conclusion
Overall, more and more businesses are
entering into partnerships with local First
Nations. These partnerships are prov-
ing the value and achievements possible
when two parties work toward a common
goal. First Nations are fast becoming a
partner in many communities leading to
increased prosperity for all involved.
