The Algonquin phrase “One Dish, One Spoon” refers to the sharing of resources. In historical times, different Indigenous groups shared hunting grounds, harvestable land, and Territories because they knew they were stronger together. The Nisga’a Nation has a similar phrase called “the Common Bowl” and Nations Royalty is driven by the same values of sharing our collective financial strengths to create prosperity for all.
Utilize the value of your future financial payments today – grow quicker than before
Don’t keep all your eggs in one basket – minimize risk through diversification
Value creation and exposure to other Indigenous Benefit Agreement payments
When our ancestors would look towards surviving the winter, they would stockpile food by processing lots of it during the summer and fall months. Instead of waiting to hunt in the future, they would do it at once to utilize the store of energy for other things.
Similarly, Nations Royalty offers Indigenous groups the opportunity to utilize future Impact Benefit Agreement financial payments from mines and other natural resource projects to store that value today. When a mine produces metals like copper or gold, cash payments may go to the local affected Indigenous group every year the project operates until the mine life runs out.
A partnership with Nations Royalty allows Indigenous groups to exchange all, or a portion of, the future cash payments the mine would pay for value today in the form of ownership in Nations Royalty (and/or cash).
By exchanging future Benefit Agreement payments for ownership in Nations Royalty, you become part owner of multiple Benefit Agreement payments which creates further diversification for your Nation.
When our ancestors would store food, they would never put all their hunt into a single food storage. Instead, they would spread the food out among many storages in case one cache was destroyed by a predator, effectively lowering the risk of all of their food being taken at once.
Similarly, annual Benefit Agreement financial payments from natural resource projects like mines work the same way. When receiving payments from a single mine, one mining disaster can make those payments stop. A partnership with Nations Royalty means exchanging payments from one mine for access to payments from many different mines.
Just like storing food in many storages to lower risk to the whole hunt, Nations Royalty spreads risk among many Benefit Agreement payments by pooling many together and lowering risk for our partner Nations.
By utilizing the stock market, we look to grow our company by partnering with new Indigenous groups and grouping together many Benefit Agreement payments. By exchanging future payments for value in Nations Royalty today, we can lower the financial risk of a mine failing in our Partner Nation’s Territory while unlocking extra financial value.
With housing, it is often better to own multiple rental properties rather than one big property. If you have one property and your renters leave, your payments stop while you look to replace them. Alternatively, if you own a multi family home with multiple renters and one renter leaves, you still receive payments from the others.
Our company functions in the same way. Since we receive Benefit Agreement payments from multiple natural resource projects, we have lowered the risk for whoever owns part of our company. Since the risk has been lowered, we unlock extra value for our Indigenous partners.
