Sandi Boucher is the CEO and driving force behind Mishkwe Enterprises, through which Sandi and her colleagues offer guidance, support, training and encouragement to those who wish to do their part in bringing this country together, one relationship at a time. Whether it is Indigenous Empowerment (www.SandiBoucher.com), or support and guidance for non-Indigenous business , (www.indigenousengagementcanada.com), the divisions of Mishkwe Enterprises are here to assist!
An internationally recognized and much-loved speaker, thought leader, television host, seminar facilitator and best-selling author in her own right, Sandi has dedicated most of her life to Indigenous inclusion, empowerment, and engagement and in the last decade, she has added Canadian reconciliation to her mission.
Known for her passionate and empowering speaking style that speaks "to hearts, not minds", Sandi brings a much needed "Indigenous lens" to the Canadian conversation, as she is a proud member of Seine River First Nation in northern Ontario, Canada. But Sandi has made Thunder Bay, Ontario her home for more than 25 years, a city nationally recognized for its anti-Indigenous racism. Yet she was named both the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year and the Nishnawbe Aski Development Fund Business Woman of the Year in 2016, proving that she knows how to build bridges even in the most challenging of situations.
Sandi's audiences include elementary, secondary, and post-secondary schools; colleges and universities; First Nation communities and agencies; mainstream municipalities and businesses, along with countless national, international, and regional conferences.
