Welcome to Indigenous Friends
The Problem We're Solving
In Canada, only 4.1% of the tech industry comprises Black and Indigenous representation. Indigenous tech workers earn significantly less than their non-Indigenous counterparts, and digital technologies often exacerbate issues of safety, privacy, and discrimination for marginalized populations.
Our Impact
We're committed to eliminating educational and employment gaps for Indigenous peoples. Our work is a direct response to the calls for action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
