The design of the Sage Initiative online learning curriculum is rooted in Indigenous epistemology. It will include unique features such as Indigenous concepts of “Wealth”, an examination of traditional Indigenous systems of commerce and reciprocity (such as the potlatch system), and a focus on our trauma relationship with money.

• Provide trauma-informed impact investment literacy training that intertwines Indigenous commerce with hard investment skills
• Provides mentorship from folx who have been active in this field for years to emerging Indigenous investors
• Uses an intersectional lens and examines over-lapping identities such as Indigeneity, gender, age, and sexuality
• Interwoven curriculum with training around more technical investing skills and practices such as deal sourcing, conducting due diligence, and understanding risk and return options when making investment decisions
