About Caid.ca
Aboriginal economic developments and Indigenous trade and commerce systems must be founded upon traditional values and roles to be sustainable. CAID resulted from the recognition of a need to provide a not-for-profit, non-governmental service capable of aiding the re-establishment of these traditional Aboriginal infrastructures.
CAID is a not-for-profit charitable non-governmental organization (NGO) designed to share professional expertise with Aboriginal people through a process of meaningful consultation.
CAID’s objective is to help Aboriginal people re-build self-sustaining infrastructure in a traditional framework. Culturally appropriate infrastructures will empower permanent solutions to problems plaguing Aboriginal communities. By enabling tradition-based indigenous infrastructure development, Aboriginal people can live traditional lives with modern sustainable economic developments that integrate culture-based businesses and institutions into the global system. These reestablished Aboriginal infrastructures, capable of preserving historic indigenous roles, will reverse aboriginal poverty cycles and empower Aboriginal people to choose their own destiny.
CAID's facilitory role is to identify, define, and harmonize missing aboriginal infrastructure with modern infrastructure to bring traditional values and lifestyles into the global system. Unfortunately, through embedded forced assimilation policies, Canadian federal and provincial governments and programs still withhold funds and expertise to prevent Aboriginal Peoples' rights from being realized. Aboriginal People have no funds to finance, and no infrastructure to facilitate, rebuilding what Canada has destroyed. Harmonizing modern global infrastructure with aboriginal values and lifestyles will reverse the cycle of poverty seen with Indigenous people. The key to this process is meaningful Aboriginal consultation. With a firm knowledge of traditional law and culture, reconciling existing infrastructure frameworks to allow full expression of Aboriginal rights can be accomplished. CAID is committed to rebuilding modern core Aboriginal infrastructure and harmonizing it with the global economy to permanently reverse the cycle of poverty seen in urban Aboriginal populations and First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities.
