June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada. It's a time to honor heritage, amplify stories, and celebrate the diverse cultures of 600+ First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities in Canada.

It’s also an opportunity for all Canadians to actively participate in reconciliation by supporting their local Indigenous communities and businesses throughout this month and after.

On Memorial Day, we honor our fallen warriors who served in all major U.S. conflicts, including World Wars I and II, at a higher per capita rate than any other ethnic group. Warriors are seen as protectors of their land and people, a tradition that predates the United States.

We honor the service and sacrifice of Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian veterans who fought to protect the sovereignty of their people and their homeland.�

Thank you to the Indigenous tech leaders and allies from across Turtle Island who joined us at the Indigenous Tech Web Summit evening gathering to connect, share, and build together as a community.

A heartfelt thank you to Chief Leanne Joe for opening the evening and setting the tone for a meaningful night.

This gathering would not have been possible without our incredible co-hosts, Devon Krainer, Eric Blesch and Ryan St. Germaine, and our partners: Indigenous Tech Circle, 7Gen AiO Tech Corp., Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP and TELUS, in partnership with Innovate BC.

Special thanks to Sundance Finley for catering, Heartberry Soda for keeping us refreshed all evening, and Georgie Lawson for capturing these moments on camera.

To everyone we connected with ahead of Web Summit Vancouver, we're grateful for you. Let's continue building the Indigenous tech ecosystem together!

Happy Mother’s Day! Today, we honor the strength, wisdom and nurturing spirit of our mothers, life-givers and maternal figures.

For many of us, the first word we speak is a call for our mother. To honor them, our team members are sharing the word for “mother” in their mother tongues:

aloo (Dakelh)
awaa (Haida)
eenaa’e (Koyukon)
je’e (Oʼodham)
mâmâ / maamaa (Métis)
nɔ’ɔ́ɔ́ɔ́h (Aaniiih)
nox̲ (Gitxsan)
tan (Tla’amin)

How do you say "mother" in your language? We'd love to learn and celebrate more Indigenous languages!

05/05/2026

Red Dress Day is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S+) across Turtle Island.

Indigenous women and girls are 6x more likely to be murdered than other groups (Statistics Canada, 2023). In the US, Native women face murder rates up to 10x the national average (NIJ, 2019).

The UN has consistently stated that these deaths and the lack of justice for victims clearly violate international and domestic law, and reflect the harmful effects of racism, colonization, misogyny, and homophobia.

❤️ Red is known to be the only color spirits see, so we wear red to honor their lives and call back the missing spirits of our women and girls.

During Mental Health Month, we carry the heavy truth of what our communities face: Indigenous Peoples are disproportionately impacted by su***de and mental health challenges.

Across Turtle Island, some of our communities face su***de rates up to 5x higher in the US (NIH, 2024) and up to 9x higher in Canada (Statistics Canada, 2019) than non-Indigenous populations. These are not just statistics, they are our relatives.

This is a direct result of colonization, intergenerational trauma, and ongoing systemic inequity. Mental health services often overlook the colonial roots of these struggles, while Indigenous approaches rooted in traditional knowledge, community, and connection to the land give us resilience.

Indigenous sovereignty is wellness, and healing begins when we return to ourselves. Everything we do at Raven ultimately contributes to the improved well-being of Native American and Indigenous Peoples.

The team at Realize Capital Partners has supported our journey since day one. It is incredibly impactful when values-aligned investors like Realize make capital more relational than transactional. We are deeply grateful for their ongoing support and their belief in our team and our mission.

We are also very honoured to continue our journey with Jeff Ward and his team. Animikii was our first investment and we have witnessed their incredible growth while maintaining their commitment to their core values.

Big gratitude to Kahani Pictures for producing this video and other impactful digital assets for our Firm.

This is the continuum of relationships that we envisioned when we started Raven Capital.
