Alfred Lea

Alfred Lea, Founder of Native Canadian Chip Corporation is First Nations from Pine Dock Manitoba. Alfred’s business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit lead him to launch his Tomahawk Chips company in 2015. Based in Riverton, Manitoba, Tomahawk Chips are packaged in distinctive bags designed by Indigenous artists and are currently sold in select retail outlets in Manitoba, Northern Ontario and California with manufacturing facilities in Manitoba, Ontario and the US.  While his enterprise continues to grow, Lea still operates with the original intent of using his entrepreneurial experience to show that others can do what he himself has done. He continues to support local community initiatives through Friendship Centres in Indigenous communities as he helps Indigenous youth discover their own paths to success. “I hope to be an inspiration to others and demonstrate that hard work can bring about success for one’s endeavours,” Lea adds.
