From Benefit Sharing to Ownership: Building Indigenous and Community Equity Partnerships

This session explores ownership as a pathway to economic opportunity, self-determination, and economic reconciliation. Seven Generations Capital shares how Indigenous partnership structures are built and financed in Canadian real estate, while Meliquina shows how these lessons inform community equity in Latin America’s energy transition. Tómiyeqw Economic Development Corporation provides the community perspective, integrating traditional stewardship into project design to meet modern equity goals. An investor will share their perspective on the attractiveness of the model from a risk return and scalability perspective. Together, we will unpack what it takes to co-originate projects and finance shared ownership in practice.
