"We are excited to host Startup Canada in our territory. After thousands of years of successful trade and then over two centuries of disenfranchisement from regional economies, Aboriginal communities are just getting restarted. We commenced the rebuilding of our economy 18 years ago and were one of the first. Entrepreneurship and the empowerment of the individual are paramount in the process. The economic power of Aboriginal business is still largely untapped. Over the next decade we will see one after the other Aboriginal community rejoin regional, national and international markets. This will benefit not only Aboriginal communities but Canada at large. The Startup Canada event is important to connect with other leaders, share information and discuss ways to support Aboriginal entrepreneurship in the context of a national strategy."
Chief Justin George of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation
