Testimonials
Samantha Nock
Futures in Innovation & Technology grad – Digital Marketing
I think it’s important for more Indigenous peoples to enter this field because we have so many amazing and bright community members that can enter this field and create new and helpful apps and software. We have the capacity in our communities for an Indigenous tech takeover and I’m here for it.
Darren Edgar
Deputy Chief, Kitasoo Band
Technology is the wave that’s come. If we don’t do anything it’s going to leave us behind. So we’ve got to get more involved and I think that’s what’s happening… This is an opportunity to have a First Nations technology company whether it’s through telecommunications or what have you, there are so many opportunities coming.

I think it is highly important for Indigenous people to enter the tech industry, especially now, as there are so many opportunities to have our voices heard in an industry that is leading the future. The tech industry is highly innovative and ever-changing, as such, I believe it is important to have people from all backgrounds share their ideas, but especially the holistic way of thinking that comes from Indigenous teachings and backgrounds.”
