What We Do

  • We are a 100% Indigenous not for profit organization run by an all Indigenous Board of Directors and staff and work with Indigenous Facilitators.
  • We work with Indigenous communities across Canada, to build their capacity in areas where they feel assistance is needed. We work with Chiefs, Council members, executives, directors, management, Board of Directors, youth to improve their capacity to govern.
  • We work with Indigenous youth and support their professional development through Empowering Indigenous Youth in Governance and Leadership (EIYGL). EIYGL provides mentorship and meaningful skill development to Indigenous youth through our various programs providing the opportunity to be mentored by senior facilitators to acquire valuable skills.
  • We work with dynamic and progressive First Nation, Metis, and Inuit facilitators who are retired Chiefs, Council Members, Executives, Lawyers, Public Servants, Entrepreneurs, and carry extensive and valuable knowledge that they want to carry forward and share with communities.

  • “The Indigenous Leadership Development Institute (ILDI) has long been an organization that has brought significant capacity building opportunities to the First Nations of Manitoba. We at the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs have, over the years, had an excellent working relationship with ILDI producing important benefits to community economic development initiatives, local governance and program management. I am pleased to offer my full support of ILDI, and know that their efforts will continue to strengthen our First Nation communities.”
