We are a Northern Aboriginal Contractor and a registered Keeyask Cree Business. Our Name ODK Engineering is derived from Oodanooketoh (pronounced O-dah-noh-kee-toh), which translates to “works for them”and carries with it the spirit of close community relationships. The name Oodanooketoh was chosen during a traditional Ojibway naming ceremony to embody the values that the company holds. Our Logo Beavers are known as ecosystem engineers, constantly reshaping the environment to suit their needs. The beaver is representative of ODK’s drive to work with nature and communities to design the world around us. The elements of design in the logo conveys the paradigm that ODK works within. The colours of the tipis are the four colours of the medicine wheel: red, white, black, and yellow. These colours represent many of the cycles in life such as the seasons, stages of life, medicines, the four elements, and the cardinal directions. The machinery intertwined with the land, water, and sky demonstrates the interrelation of the natural world, and ODK’s ability to work within this worldview.
