First Nations
Investigation | Protection | Advocacy | Navigation
When systems fail — First Nations are too often left with silence, confusion, or risk.
Arthur exists to intervene, investigate, and support — only when invited, and always with respect.
We are not a government office.
We are not media.
We are a licensed investigative firm — backed by First Nations elders, legal professionals, and advisors who ensure our work is grounded, ethical, and appropriate.
WHAT WE DO
Arthur Investigations offers licensed, confidential, and culturally informed support for Indigenous individuals, families, and communities across Saskatchewan.
We provide:
- Governance & Band Conflict Support
When disputes arise inside communities — we help document, clarify, and track what’s really happening. - Community Safety Response
Licensed investigations into violence, coercion, theft, and threats — inside or outside the community. - Missing Persons Coordination
Fast action for families with missing loved ones. Liaison with police, media, and legal support if needed. - Legal Process Navigation
When someone needs to access the courts or protect their rights — and no one is explaining how. - Healthcare, Housing, and Services Advocacy
Federal, provincial, and local programs often conflict. We help sort out what is owed, what was missed, and what happens next.

WHY ARTHUR
There is no consistent path for First Nations people in Saskatchewan to access immediate, accountable investigative support.
Arthur exists to change that — with care, professionalism, and clarity.
We work with communities.
We listen to elders.
We answer only to truth — and to those who trust us to carry it forward.

How We Work
We do not replace lawyers. We ensure you get full access to the system your lawyer cannot deliver alone. We work behind and around the system — so your rights are seen and respected.

Our Commitment
We are led by Indigenous professionals. A trusted First Nations relations and operations lead oversees all services to ensure cultural fit, accuracy, and trust.
Every member of the Arthur team works under their direction when serving Indigenous clients. Every action is reviewed for its alignment with our communities’ needs — not just system rules.
This is structured justice. It’s time.
