Arctic Summit Special | Robert Brant on Indigenous Investment & Global Capital | AIIS

Video Description

🎙️ Arctic Indigenous Investment Series — Special Episode This special episode of the Arctic Indigenous Investment Series was recorded onsite in Whitehorse, Yukon during the Arctic Summit, where northern, Indigenous, government, and industry leaders gathered to discuss Arctic sovereignty, infrastructure, security, and investment in the North. In this conversation, Blair Hogan, President of the Yukon First Nation Chamber of Commerce and host of AIIS, sits down with Robert Brant, Co-head of the Indigenous Projects & Transactions Group at McCarthy Tétrault and Co-chair of the Canadian Indigenous Investment Summit. Rob is an experienced corporate and commercial lawyer advising Indigenous governments, development corporations, investors, banks, and pension funds on major transactions across energy, infrastructure, and natural resources. A proud member of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, he has spent decades working at the intersection of Indigenous economic development and global capital markets. The discussion explores why international investors are increasingly paying attention to Canada’s Indigenous economy, how Indigenous partnership is reshaping major project development, and the growing role Indigenous development corporations can play in unlocking large-scale investment opportunities across the North. The conversation also highlights the Canadian Indigenous Investment Summit held annually at the London Stock Exchange, which connects Indigenous leaders and international investors focused on sustainable partnerships across energy, infrastructure, and critical resources. As part of this growing collaboration, the Yukon First Nation Chamber of Commerce will be participating in the 2026 Canadian Indigenous Investment Summit in London with a Yukon wealth panel focused on Indigenous procurement, verified business capacity, and investment structures that help reduce execution risk in major northern projects.
