Economic Development
Kakina
Building Economic Self-Reliance.
Empowering our Member First Nations through strategic investment, business development, and collective action.
Incorporated in 1991, the Kakina Economic Development Group was formed to promote, plan, and assist in economic activities that support our people. We work to advance the social and economic well-being of our 10 Nations, guided by the philosophy of self-reliance and self-determination.
We help your community build its own wealth. By providing the professional support needed to start businesses and secure investments, we ensure that economic success stays within our First Nations.
Supporting Our Path to Independence
Kakina provides a wide range of advisory services to help Member First Nations launch and manage economic activities. We also support benevolent and charitable enterprises that are dedicated to the social development of our people.
Whether you are planning a community project or a charitable initiative, we provide the technical and professional support to turn that plan into a reality that benefits everyone.

For-Profit Business & Investment
Strategic Growth Through Partnership
In 2016, our Member First Nations directed the formation of a for-profit business structure (Limited Partnership and General Partnership). This structure allows us to take full advantage of large-scale business opportunities for our member communities.
This structure gives us the buying power to own, operate, and lease assets and properties. It allows us to compete for major business ventures that create direct profits and long-term assets for our 10 Nations.
Key Focus Areas
- Ownership and operation of business assets.
- Strategic investment in regional ventures and property.
- Business development ancillary to community infrastructure.
