An Invitation to Learn and Build Together

OODANOOKETOH Architecture + Engineering is an Indigenous‑led architectural and engineering firm based in Winnipeg with a bold vision: to grow into a national practice shaped by Indigenous leadership, creativity, and technical excellence. We are early in our journey, which means the opportunities ahead are wide open.

We are creating space for Indigenous people who are curious about design, architecture, engineering, planning, and building — and who want to explore what this path could look like in a supportive, culturally grounded environment.

You don’t need to have everything figured out. If you carry an interest in this work, we welcome conversation.

Who We’re Hoping to Hear From

We’re interested in connecting with Indigenous people at many stages of their journey, including:

  • Students in high school, college, or university

  • Early‑career professionals seeking mentorship and guidance

  • Mid‑career professionals looking for a culturally aligned workplace

  • Designers, technologists, planners, architects, and engineers — formally trained or informally experienced

  • Small Indigenous firms seeking resources, collaboration, or technical support

If you’re curious and open to learning, you belong here.

What We’re Working to Create

We are building a workplace where:

  • Indigenous identity is recognized as a strength

  • Mentorship and leadership are supported at every stage

  • Ceremony and cultural teachings are respected

  • Work is grounded, relational, and joyful

  • Projects serve Indigenous communities in meaningful ways

Why You Might Choose to Work With Us

  • Your Indigenous identity is valued and honoured

  • Your connection to home and land is respected

  • Ceremony and land‑based teachings are part of how we work

  • Leadership and ownership pathways are accessible

  • Your autonomy, voice, and purpose matter

We honour your stories and experiences, and we want to support you in shaping the future of Indigenous‑led design and planning.
