A key advisor to the National Indigenous Economic Strategy, NATOA has co-led the Reconciliation and Responsible Investment Initiative (RRII) since 2019, helping Indigenous capital holders align investment practices with community values.

NATOA will strengthen its operations, enhance membership engagement, and expand training programs to build Indigenous investment capacity.
