Definity Foundation and Definity Financial Corporation Announce Support for Indigenous Land Stewardship and Innovation at Ulnooweg Education Centre

Partnering for Indigenous-led futures requires more than capital — it requires changing how capital works.

Our engagement with Ulnooweg Education Centre uses patient, values-driven capital to support land stewardship, learning, and prosperity at Asitu’lɨsk.

Asitu’lɨsk — “that which gives you balance” — has been a place of Mi’kmaw life and learning for thousands of years. We’re honoured to support Ulnooweg Education Centre in stewarding this land as a living centre for culture, education, and community connection.
