For generations, Indigenous economies have thrived, rooted in trade networks, innovation, and sustainability. Today, Indigenous businesses are among the fastest growing in Canada, leading in industries from energy to finance, technology to agriculture. The word "Ahkameyimok" is a Cree word that means to persevere, to not give up, to keep going. We believe it’s a powerful word that conveys the resilience and determination of the Indigenous business community in Canada.
Ahkameyimok is published by Welch Capital Partners and aims to be a source for insights into Indigenous business transactions across Canada.
