We manage the investments and for-profit enterprises of Hiawatha First Nation, working across a diversity of sectors to create sustainable revenue for the community today, tomorrow, and seven generations from now.
Zhooniya Makak Limited Partnership exists to engage in — and develop — wealth creation opportunities that give Hiawatha First Nation access to sustainable sources of revenue for the next seven generations and beyond.
We are a 100% Hiawatha-owned partnership. Every business we hold, every venture we enter, and every dollar we deploy is measured against that single mandate: building a durable economic base that supports the community across generations.
Our focus spans a diversity of sectors — among them energy infrastructure, technology, supply & services, construction, and real estate — chosen for diversification, resilience, and long-term value compounding.
Our values are not aspirational statements — they are the operating principles we apply to every business, investment, and partnership we take on. They define what gets approved, what gets declined, and how we measure success.
Every business and investment decision begins with one question: does this build sustainable wealth for Hiawatha? Nothing else moves forward until that answer is clear.
We treat land and resources as inheritances to be carried forward, not commodities to be consumed. Sustainability is the standard, not the exception.
We deploy capital with multi-decade — and multi-generational — horizons. The best outcomes come from assets designed to compound, not transactions optimized for the next reporting cycle.
Real partnership means equitable participation, transparent decision-making, and a shared stake in outcomes. We strive to reflect this thinking in our commercial agreements.
We measure what matters. Community outcomes, environmental performance, and financial results all sit on the same dashboard — and all get reported.
We spend more time at the start than at the finish. Time invested in understanding pays back in projects that hold together when conditions change.
Zhooniya Makak LP is governed by a Board of Directors drawn from Hiawatha First Nation and led by a Chief Executive Officer accountable to that board.
If your work aligns with our mandate to create durable, long-term value for Hiawatha, we would welcome the conversation.
