Our Network is Powered by Indigenous Innovation"We promote and support the sustainable economic livelihood of Saskatchewan Indigenous communities through building capacity, relationships and knowledge."Established in 2012 as the Saskatchewan First Nations Economic Development Network, the SFNEDN was created organically through discussions among key First Nations economic development leaders who shared common goals and a vision for First Nations economic development in Saskatchewan. These leaders felt that a centralized support organization could result in better outcomes for First Nations economic development officers and economic development corporations that generally have limited resources and networks. Over the past five years, the SFNEDN has offered research, blogs and newsletters, while delivering conferences, workshops and networking events. In 2016, the SFNEDN had the honour of hosting the World Indigenous Business Forum which earned the SFNEDN recognition throughout Canada and across the world.The SFNEDN has assisted communities representing all Indigenous people in Saskatchewan and in 2020 the organization changed its name to the Saskatchewan Indigenous Economic Development Network (SIEDN) to reflect that work. SIEDN continues with the mandate determined by the needs of the people it serves.
