Though addressing some of the basic ideas of standard Project Management Professional training, this course diverges in focus looking at issues that are distinct to managing projects for, with, or in conjunction with Indigenous peoples. Project Management is one of the most in-demand fields within government and finance, and Canadian Indigenous nations continue to have massive growth. Creating, maintaining and completing projects that are Indigenous in nature come with unique challenges and opportunities.

This course is an excellent addition to Management 3920 (Project Management) and can also be taken as a stand-alone for anyone that plans to engage in Project Management in Canada.

The issues surrounding taxation as it applies to Indigenous populations in Canada are very complex and far too often misunderstood. This course will attempt to address and dispel the understanding of the exceptional nature of taxation as it applies to Indian, Metis and Inuit populations.

Topics will include section 87 of the Indian Act, its effect on income tax, GST/HST and excise taxes. These will then address proper business and taxation practices for On-Reserve employees, clients, contractors and the like as well as those same practices for Off-Reserve circumstances.
