The Saskatchewan Indian Equity Foundation Inc. (SIEF) was one of the first Aboriginal Financial Institutions in Canada to offer developmental lending to First Nation businesses in Saskatchewan. SIEF is owned by the 74 First Nations of Saskatchewan and affiliated with the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN). We have also partnered with the TD Bank to create the First Nations Bank of Canada (FNBC), and we have expanded our existing investment portfolio to generate profit and employment for First Nations people.
