Introducing DNGD – Des Nedhe’s New Defence Division

Press Release

May 23, 2025

Des Nedhe Group proudly launches DNG Defence (DNGD), a dedicated division delivering the right solutions for Canada’s maritime, aerospace, defence and security sectors. As a 100% Indigenous community-owned organization, DNGD is committed to building long-term, Indigenous economic opportunities while advancing national interests.

The global geopolitical landscape is shifting at an unprecedented pace. With a renewed national focus on defence spending and a rapidly evolving framework for Indigenous engagement in federal procurement, a gap has emerged between the Canadian Government’s policy and industry’s ability to execute in a timely fashion.

That’s where DNGD comes in. With active MOUs on major Canadian defence programs, deep expertise in Indigenous Participation Planning (IPP), and access to a national internal group of 20+ companies, DNGD bridges this divide—providing robust solutions to government, military, and the broader defence industry.

Our mission is clear: to operate as a top-tier maritime, aerospace, and defence group, and to be the trusted partner for Indigenous engagement and execution across all phases of major projects.
