The Na-Cho Nyäk Dun Development Corporation (NNDDC) was created in 1997 with modest objectives. The mandate of NNDDC is to be the primary active business arm for the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun (FN-NND) citizens and to develop and manage business interests that provide services to the community and create employment opportunities for FN-NND citizens. FN-NND is located in northeast Yukon in the community of Mayo, a town that had its beginnings during the boom years of the silver mines in the area in the 1920's and their Traditional Territory covers 162,456 square kilometers of land - 131,599 sq km in the Yukon and 30,857 sq km in NWT. Map and History
NNDDC does this by primarily investing in and managing local businesses and real estate, and by working with other businesses that invest in and operate in the FN-NND's Traditional Territory. These businesses provide opportunities for joint ventures, partnerships, and contracts to provide services and supplies by NNDDC businesses and employment for FN-NND citizens. When these outside businesses do well, they have money to invest, and NNDDC and its subsidiary businesses also do well.
NNDDC is one of several partners contributing to Community Economic Development for the First Nation of the Na-Cho Nyäk Dun, including: Chief and Council, NND Investment Trust, NND Business Trust, and NND Departments. Other partners include the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor) and Yukon Government Departments of Economic Development & Community Services.

Annual Citizen Meetings 2022
On October 27th and 30th, the NNDDC team gathered with NND Citizens to share our financial performance, operational activities, community impact, and successes from our 2021-2022 fiscal year.
We shared meals and held conversation about what we're doing and what Citizens want to see from their Development Corporation. We're proud to share this report and all it captures in our year of work. It is available for download now.
For all questions, media inquiries, or if any NND Citizens would like to access a recording of the October 27th meeting, please reach out to communications@nnddc.ca.
