IWE Role Model Campaign

About the Indigenous Women Entrepreneurship Role Model Campaign

 

NACCA’s Indigenous Women Entrepreneurship Role Model Campaign celebrates the strength, resilience, and innovation of Indigenous women entrepreneurs from across the Indigenous Financial Institution (IFI) network. By highlighting their diverse stories, business journeys, and community impact, the campaign aims to honour their successes and inspire other Indigenous women to explore entrepreneurship. These role models are proof that with the right support and resources, Indigenous women are not only starting businesses—they’re reshaping economies and leading change in their communities and beyond.
