We exist to create wealth for First Nations, to make what matters.
We assemble and manage real estate and infrastructure projects that are majority owned by First Nations.
Énska is the leader in assembling and managing Indigenous real estate and infrastructure projects. The firm acts as a fiduciary to First Nations to originate opportunities, assemble capital or development partners, lead the addition to reserve process, obtain entitlements, and execute projects.
To support our work, we cultivate strong relationships with Indigenous and traditional capital sources for investment in real estate and infrastructure that is majority owned by First Nations. The firm is based at Six Nations of the Grand River and works across Canada and in the United States.
Our firm is named Énska, the Mohawk word for “one” because leadership is about bringing people together, as one. We can deliver what our communities need the most. And we have limited time in this world. How will they tell our story when we are gone? Let’s make what matters.

Our
Values
We embrace the Haudenosaunee belief that each person is born with responsibilities. To their families, to their clan and nation, to themselves and to the natural world around them.

According to RBC, nearly half of the Canadian building industry will retire by 2030 all while demand for construction services is expected to triple. Housing affordability, the clean energy transition and the success of your project all rely on skilled tradespeople. And we don't have enough.
Today, there are 7 million youth (ages 16-30) in Canada and 560,000 live in poverty. The poverty rate of BIPOC youth is twice the Canadian average. What if we worked together as an industry to give them a hand up? We're on a mission to impact 50,000 youth by 2050. Fifty by fifty!
Trades jobs pay 1.5x the living wage and are a gateway to management or entrepreneurship. We can solve our labour crisis buy creating opportunities for meaningful work. Énska demonstrates how this saves money. Together, we can lift people from poverty while addressing our labour crisis.
