“As Indigenous entrepreneurs, your journey is both personal and collective, carrying the stories of our communities through your businesses. Stay rooted in your culture and traditions, honour the knowledge of those who came before you, and celebrate each success along the way. Every step you take today paves the path for the next generation. Keep your vision clear, walk with courage, and have fun while achieving your dreams.” – Naomi Sarazin, Executive Director of Pow Wow Pitch
