In the 21st century, Indigenous Nations still lack access to needed capital and partners. Indigenous emerging
markets have been overlooked for decades. Indigena Capital was founded to address this need across all
commercial sectors of the Indigenous emerging market.
John P. Jurrius, CEO, Indigena Holdings
If our goal is financial freedom, we must not rely on management by the Federal Government. We must,
instead, unshackle our rights and maximize our vast resources with the right capital partners.
Roy Fox, Chief, Blood Tribe, Canada
As a partner, Indigena brings the necessary capital, expertise and experience to unlock the tremendous
potential derived from the unique rights and resources of North American Indigenous Nations across all
sectors.
Christine Robertson, President, Indigena Holdings
The strong, courageous, and visionary leadership of our Tribe, combined with Mr. Jurrius’ creation of our
financial plan and a means to access capital, made it possible for us to make necessary changes that
created economic security for our people in perpetuity.
Pearl Casias, former Chairwoman, Southern Ute Tribe, U.S.A.
The Indigena partnering model is unique in helping Nations to fully and profitably develop their diverse
resources and, by doing so, create a sustainable, dynamic, and self-reliant economy.
Chet Mills, former U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs Superintendent
Message from the CEO...
The principals of Indigena have specialized in partnering exclusively with Tribal Nations in the United States
and First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada for over three decades. This unique and advantaged
investment space offers a world-class portfolio of opportunities that stem from the Treaty, Traditional
Territory and Reserve or Reservation rights of Indigenous Nations. This emerging market, however, has
been overlooked for decades as capital providers are often deterred by the antiquated regulations and
special jurisdictions that the Federal Government put in place a century ago. Consequently, this creates an
inequity – Indigenous Nations not fully realizing the benefits of their resources and rights. Indigena brings the
capital, experience, and expertise to assist Nations in remedying this inequity and provides a platform
through which the financial community can engage.
In response to Nations’ requests to help build their economies, we have partnered in over 70 transactions,
invested $450 million of direct capital and sourced $1.7 billion in joint venture capital. Through disciplined
capital allocation, the return expectations of investors can be met while creating the foundation for selfsustaining economies for Nations. These projects have generated a measurable, beneficial social and
environmental impact alongside the financial returns.
