Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) and three Indigenous institutes -- Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies, and Six Nations Polytechnic -- have launched a historic partnership to strengthen Indigenous-led entrepreneurship and business education across Canada.
With a US $12 million (approximately CA $16 million) commitment from the BHP Foundation, the initiative known as Mamawi brings together CICan and the three Indigenous institutes in a partnership grounded in Indigenous leadership and ways of knowing and being. A Governing Circle representing these four partners will oversee its direction and impact.
