Four Our Future Indigenous Economics Ltd.

Was founded by artist & business leader Tamara Goddard, of the Saulteau Nation, who believes that access to clean water, housing and power are fundamental human rights, necessary for humanity to recreate balance with the Earth and all of life. She spent 25+ years studying social and economic systems, finding that many limit humanity's ability to flourish, by design. Her research and educational pursuits were fuelled by a vision at the age of 19, of a new economic model grounded in natural law and the growth patterns of nature.

As President of Four Our Future, Tamara led three national papers highlighting the potential for blockchain and web3 technology to advance equitable wealth and resource distribution, and incubated 400 Drums, an NFT project dedicated to illustrating how web3 technology can be used to break down social and economic barriers. Tamara is committed to holding space for the next generation of innovators to create a regenerative economic model upon which people and the planet can thrive.
