Barriers to Indigenous economic development still limit access to capital and opportunity. At the Rural Development Indigenous Partnerships panel in PEI, NACCA CEO, Shannin Metatawabin highlighted the path forward. "Indigenous Financial Institutions are working to remove barriers by keeping capital in communities, supporting Indigenous entrepreneurs, and building long-term prosperity. When capital flows, projects gain committed partners with deep community ties which builds solid economic foundations and stronger partners in development."
