NATOA is proud to announce the 2026 National Indigenous Trust & Investment Conference and Trust & Stewardship Awards Gala, under the theme “Building Trust in Trusts: Governance, Impact, and Sovereign Wealth for the Next Seven Generations.”
This two‑day national gathering will bring together Indigenous trustees, community leaders, youth, Elders, and sector partners from across Canada to strengthen trust governance, deepen community impact, and advance Indigenous‑led capital and sovereign wealth strategies. Sessions will focus on modern governance, investment policy and risk, responsible investment aligned with UNDRIP and TRC Call 92, and the education pathways needed to support the next generation of Indigenous finance leaders.
The Trust & Stewardship Awards Gala will honor trustees, community trusts, partners, and community champions whose leadership has advanced Indigenous economic sovereignty and helped build NATOA into a national hub for Indigenous trust education and collaboration.
