Eskasoni did not publish this, and has not claimed it.

It is the federal funding record, compiled by NationWorks from the Government of Canada's open data. Nothing here comes from the Nation. If you work for Eskasoni, you can claim it — and get a website, a services directory and a jobs board on your own address, free to publish and yours to control.

By year

By agreement start date. 2025 is drawn hollow because federal disclosure lags by months and the year has not finished reporting — not because funding stopped.

Against other Nations in NS

Eskasoni against the twelve largest in NS by disclosed funding. Size of a Nation and what it administers on its own vary enormously, so this is context, not a ranking of anything.
