Celebrating Indigenous Excellence with Pow Wow Pitch

RBC is proud to partner with Pow Wow Pitch to honour the incredible achievements of Indigenous entrepreneurs at the 2025 Indigenous Entrepreneur Awards. Co-presented by RBC and Mastercard, this year’s celebration recognized eight inspiring leaders from across Turtle Island who are shaping stronger, more connected communities through their innovation, creativity, and commitment to cultural resurgence.

Entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful tools for self-determination and community growth. By supporting Indigenous entrepreneurs, sustainable pathways for economic independence, cultural preservation, and intergenerational opportunity are created. When Indigenous entrepreneurs thrive, communities thrive, and we are honoured to play a role in amplifying their voices, visions, and businesses.

We are especially proud to celebrate two remarkable RBC award recipients:

Nova Courchene, Founder of Oshkagoojin and recipient of the RBC Rising Star Award, is recognized for her powerful work in Indigenous youth theatre and language preservation that empowers young voices to share their stories with confidence and pride.

Tanya Tourangeau, Founder of Tanya T Consulting and recipient of the RBC Entrepreneurial Icon Award, is celebrated for her leadership in reconciliation strategy and bridge-building that continues to inspire lasting change and understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.

These entrepreneurs exemplify what it means to lead with purpose, vision, and heart. Their impact reaches far beyond business and strengthens the fabric of our communities.
