Connecting major projects with Indigenous communities.
A 100% First Nations-owned platform bridging major project spending with Indigenous suppliers, Nation participation, and transparent benefit reporting.
Rooted in the land. Built for its people.
Ataway Buying Solutions Inc. was founded in the Saskatoon area, located at the crossroads of Saskatchewan's resource corridors. Our partners carry deep roots in Cumberland House Cree Nation and Pimicikamak Cree Nation (Cross Lake), grounding our work in the land and communities we serve.
Indigenous procurement does not mean checking boxes, it means creating shared prosperity. The Ataway Model ensures opportunities flow directly to First Nations communities.
How Ataway works.
A clear, accountable four-step process that includes Indigenous participation with project spending from the first conversation to the final report.
Identify the opportunity
A contractor, project owner, or institution has procurement needs with Indigenous participation requirements.
Connect & organize
Ataway identifies Indigenous suppliers, Nation participation opportunities, logistics options, and construction-support possibilities.
Deliver & coordinate
We help organize the work through a practical procurement process with safety, quality, and schedule certainty.
Report & benefit
Results are documented so that contractors and Nations can see actual benefits and real impact.
Six reasons communities choose us.
Each commitment is backed by decades of real experience in Indigenous governance, procurement, and construction across Western Canada.
100% First Nations owned & led
Founded and operated by First Nations people, accountable to First Nations communities. Every decision about who we work with and how we work is made by the people we serve.
Practical, end-to-end delivery
We don't just advise. From procurement coordination through to on-site logistics and construction support, the work stays connected across all six service divisions.
Transparent benefit reporting
Transparent documentation of all procurement outcomes. Nations and contractors can see exactly where money flows, who benefits, and what was delivered.
No-interference protocol
Ataway does not take another Nation's lane. We always work with Nation consent and coordination where there is an open lane, a clear gap, or an invitation.
Supplier readiness support
We help Indigenous businesses prepare, qualify, and compete. Capacity assessment, certification support, bid preparation, and training so suppliers can win work.
Community-first values
Your interests always come first. We are not working for the proposing party or maximizing our own engagement. The service is genuine and the commitment is long-term.
Working on a project that matters to your community?
You can reach out to us directly, whether you are a Nation, contractor, supplier, or project owner. We respond to each inquiry and keep every conversation confidential.
