Module 4 Post #1 – Aboriginal Success Stories

I was reviewing the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada website www.aandc-aadnc.gc.ca and came across a link to Aboriginal community and business success stories:

http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1307014211008/1307014336701

The website provides details on a number of First Nation people and communities who are having real economic success and some of the examples include:

Wawatay Native Communications Society
Wawatay Native Communications Society, located in Sioux Lookout, Ontario, provides media services in television, radio and newsprint to communities throughout Northern Ontario.

Nations Construction Consulting
Deanna Johnson, an Aboriginal woman living in Chilliwack, British Columbia, has proven that women can succeed in the construction world. Through her business Nations Construction & Consulting, she helps building quality homes for First Nations people and inspires her community.

An Electrifying Partnership: Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation and Manitoba Hydro
The Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation and Manitoba Hydro partner up to benefit all.

There is a link on the webpage that will take you to another section of the website where you can search for Aboriginal success stories by category which I found very useful.
