SASKATOON - Indigenous people from around the world are in Saskatoon this week to talk about international business.
Milton Tootoosis, chair of the Saskatchewan First Nations Economic Development Network, said hosting the event is exciting for the province.
Tootoosis hopes the forum addresses some of the hurdles facing indigenous people who want to develop a business.
The forum includes presentations from business leaders across Canada.
Edmund Bellegarde, tribal chairman of the File Hills Qu'Appelle Tribal Council, and David Williams, co-founder and director of Gilimbaa in Australia, will lead a panel discussion Thursday on rebuilding nations with new tools.
The forum, which has previously been held in New York City, Sydney, Australia and Guatemala City, ends Thursday.
