Investing for Legacies
Our business is a reflection of us – industry experts grounded in wisdom, truth, bravery, and love who forge brighter futures with humility, respect, and honesty. We exist so that seven generations of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi and the communities in which we conduct business flourish and feel the spark of thriving opportunity. Because at Waséyabek, we don’t just invest for the present. We invest for legacies that shape a bold and vibrant tomorrow.
Our Purpose
Waséyabek was established in 2011 to foster sustainable economic growth and diversification for the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi (NHBP). Our mission is to strengthen the Tribal economy by creating meaningful jobs, generating profits that support government initiatives, and contributing to community resources that enhance the reservation’s quality of life. By reinvesting in business opportunities and aligning with NHBP’s development policies, we aim to empower current and future generations with long-term prosperity and stability.
How We Work
Waséyabek operates under the strategic oversight of a six-member Board of Directors and a skilled Executive Team, combining strong leadership with thoughtful planning. Our investment strategy emphasizes acquiring companies and properties with proven financial stability, growth potential, and leadership teams that align with our values. By building collaborative partnerships and maintaining a commitment to integrity, we ensure every decision supports the broader mission of the Tribe and creates shared success for our partners.
The Waséyabek Difference
At Waséyabek, we live by the Seven Grandfather Teachings — Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility, and Truth. These values guide our decisions, shape our culture, and reflect the principles of our Tribal heritage. By blending these teachings with innovative strategies, we deliver exceptional products and services to our partners and customers. We don’t just build businesses — we create opportunities that honor our past and pave the way for a vibrant, thriving future.
