Home / Why Choose Us
Why Neechi-WâganWhy First Nations choose us.
Six reasons we hear from the communities we work with. They are how we have chosen to operate, none of them are accidents.
i.
100% Indigenous owned & led
Founded and operated by Indigenous people, accountable to Indigenous communities. The decisions about who we work with, how we work, and what we say no to are made by the partners themselves.
ii.
Proven track record
Our partners bring decades of experience across governance, government, and industry. Roles with Cumberland House Cree Nation, Swampy Cree Tribal Council, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, Iceland Concrete, and more. The relationships are deep and the receipts are long.
iii.
Full-service group
We don't just advise, we deliver. From the first proposal review through to on-site construction, the work stays inside the group. Iceland Industrial closes the loop between the boardroom and the build site.
iv.
Community-first values
Your interests always come first. We set ourselves to the highest standard to ensure you're receiving service that is genuine and meaningful. We prioritize your needs, never seeking to maximize our own engagement.
v.
Independent, unbiased advice
No conflicts, no compromises. We do not work for the proposing party. There are no contingent fees with the company across the table. The advice is ours, and the loyalty is to the community paying for it.
vi.
Capacity & connections
Forty years of relationships across governance, industry, government, and the trades. When the right person is needed at the table, not only can we find them—we know them.

Trust is earned by being in the community before the project starts, and staying after it ends.
