Tariffs, trade wars and treaties: What’s at stake for Indigenous business?

This week on APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens examines the impact of the looming trade war between Canada and the U.S. and what it means for Indigenous businesses.

As U.S. President Donald Trump plans to move ahead with 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian exports, companies across the country are scrambling to adapt. But for Indigenous businesses, many of which already face barriers, the economic uncertainty is especially challenging.

Shane Prevost, vice president of Bison Modular, is looking to a centuries-old agreement for solutions. The Jay Treaty, signed in 1794, grants Indigenous Peoples the right to trade and travel freely across the Canada-U.S. border. Could this be a game-changer for Indigenous businesses caught in the crossfire of a trade war?
