Indigenous Housing: A Vision of Tradition and Modernity
At McGiver and Company Management Services, Inc., we recognize the importance of ensuring that everyone, irrespective of their cultural background or geographical location, has access to high-quality, durable, and comfortable housing. Our commitment to serving the Indigenous communities of Alberta and Saskatchewan is unwavering. As a proud dealer of Nelson Homes, we are pleased to introduce our range of showhomes that seamlessly blend the essence of tradition with the advantages of modern housing solutions.
Rooted in Respect
The Indigenous peoples of Alberta and Saskatchewan, with their rich tapestry of cultures, histories, and languages, have always had a profound connection with the land they inhabit. This bond is reflected in the architecture, design, and materials of their traditional dwellings.
Understanding this, McGiver and Company strives to create homes that not only meet the functional needs of contemporary living but also resonate with the values and aesthetics of Indigenous communities.
Flexible, Adaptable, and Mobile
Our showhomes, ready to be moved to your preferred location, offer unparalleled flexibility. This modularity is crucial, especially when catering to the diverse needs of Indigenous communities spread across the vast terrains of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
From remote plains to coastal villages, our homes can be easily transported and set up, ensuring that community members do not have to compromise on comfort or quality, irrespective of where they choose to reside.
Collaborative Approach
We believe in the power of collaboration. By actively involving community leaders and members in the decision-making process, we ensure that every housing solution we deliver aligns with the unique requirements and aspirations of the community. Our consultations include discussions about design, aesthetics, and the incorporation of traditional elements, allowing each home to tell a story that is deeply rooted in the heritage and values of its inhabitants.

Sustainable and Durable
Sustainability is at the core of our offerings. The designs from Nelson Homes not only minimize the environmental impact but also ensure longevity. Built with top-notch materials, our homes are equipped to withstand the varying climatic conditions of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Furthermore, our homes are energy-efficient, leading to lower utility bills and reduced carbon footprints. For Indigenous communities that have always championed harmony with nature, this is a step towards a future that honours their timeless wisdom.
Cultural Integration
It’s not just about building houses; it’s about creating homes that echo the heartbeat of the community. Our designs aim to incorporate elements reminiscent of traditional Indigenous dwellings. Be it the orientation of the house, the choice of colours, or the layout – every aspect is thought through to ensure a sense of belonging and cultural resonance.
Affordability and Financing
Understanding the socio-economic challenges that many Indigenous communities face, we have tailored our pricing to ensure maximum accessibility. Additionally, we work closely with financial institutions and governmental bodies to provide feasible financing options, making the dream of owning a modern, comfortable home a tangible reality for many.
Conclusion
The essence of a home is not just in its walls and roofs; it’s in the stories it harbours, the memories it witnesses, and the legacy it creates. At McGiver and Company Management Services, Inc., we are on a mission to provide the Indigenous communities of Alberta and Saskatchewan with homes that are more than just structures. They are a bridge between the proud past and the promising future, a testament to the resilience, wisdom, and vision of a people who have always called this land home.
