Who We Are

pipikwan pêhtâkwan (pee-pee-gwan pee-tah-gwan) is an Indigenous owned, led and majority staffed public relations agency focused on elevating Indigenous voices, projects and issues.

We primarily serve Indigenous businesses, organizations and communities to bring their voices to the mainstream media and general public, while ensuring Indigenous Peoples maintain ownership of their initiatives and stories.

We are investing in Youth to build capacity in their communities. Whether they stay with us or move on – it is of great benefit and helps us lift up Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island.  We are building with seven generations in mind.

The pipikwan pêhtâkwan team prides ourselves as helpers who understand the barriers and know the language that resonates with our peoples. We collaborate with our partners to build communications strategies that work for Indigenous communities.
