The Economic Engine of Hiawatha First Nation

Zhooniya Makak Limited Partnership manages the investments and for-profit enterprises of Hiawatha First Nation. Our purpose is to engage in — and develop — wealth creation opportunities that give Hiawatha access to sustainable sources of revenue for the next seven generations and beyond.

We apply a broad lens to investing, with particular interest in energy infrastructure, technology, supply & services, construction and real estate. Every potential investment is held to the same standard: it must contribute to the long-term wealth of the community while reflecting Hiawatha's cultural values.

Technology

Investments in technology businesses and ventures that create future-facing employment and position Hiawatha at the leading edge of the next economy.

Supply & Services

Supply and service businesses — professional, industrial, and support services — that generate recurring revenue and build transferable skills within the community.

Construction

Construction enterprises and joint ventures that deliver buildings, infrastructure, and skilled trades capacity — building Hiawatha's workforce alongside its assets.

Long-term ownership of income-producing property — a patient, durable asset class that compounds value over multi-decade horizons.
