Welcome! Canada's future is dependent on the well-being of Indigenous Nations and their communities.

The National Consortium for Indigenous Economic Development (NCIED), an initiative of the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business and Faculty of Law, focuses on independent and collaborative research, building capacity for economic development in Indigenous Nations and their communities, and serving as a convenor of partnerships to sustain research and action.

The NCIED is here to enable Indigenous peoples to develop their own economies and their own approaches to economic self-sufficiency, sustainability and success. In collaboration with leaders from Indigenous governments, other governments and business, our goal is to advance Indigenous economic innovation and economic health throughout Canada, on a foundation of strong Indigenous governance within a framework that reflects traditional knowledge and respect for Indigenous peoples and their cultures.

We acknowledge with respect the Lekwungen peoples on whose traditional territory the 番茄社区, including the National Consortium for Indigenous Economic Development, stands, and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.

We encourage you to engage in our commitment to maximize conditions across Canada for Indigenous economic strength and resilience.
